Pavin Smith Homers Twice, Diamondbacks Shut Out White Sox 10-0; Suárez, Naylor Injured

Monday, June 23rd, 2025

CHICAGO -- The Arizona Diamondbacks shut out the Chicago White Sox 10-0 on Monday night. Pavin Smith homered twice and drove in four runs in the victory. The game also saw the Diamondbacks lose Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor to injuries.

Suárez left after being hit on the right hand in the first inning by a pitch from Shane Smith. The team announced he had a right-hand contusion and X-rays were negative.

Naylor, who hit a two-run double in the first for a 2-0 lead, appeared to injure his shoulder on a swing in the second and left in the fourth after grounding out. He is day to day with right shoulder discomfort.

Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4) earned the win, giving up five hits and striking out 10 in six innings. It was the first time he hasn’t allowed a run through five innings since Sept. 24, 2023, while pitching for the Tigers. He improved to 5-0 in five career starts at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Anthony DeSclafani struck out four in three hitless innings for his first career save. He issued two walks in the ninth before striking out Michael A. Taylor to end it.

Pavin Smith extended the Diamondbacks' lead to 5-0 in the second with his seventh homer — a three-run shot to right field off Shane Smith (3-5), who lasted just two innings.

Ketel Marte and Pavin Smith hit back-to-back homers off Dan Altavilla in the fourth for a 7-0 advantage. It was the 14th home run for Marte, who finished 3 for 6 and has gone 13 for 21 with at least three hits in each of his last four starts.

Jose Herrera had RBI singles in the fifth and ninth.

Position player Vinny Capra made his third appearance in relief this season for Chicago. He surrendered an RBI ground-rule double to Geraldo Perdomo in the ninth following Herrera's RBI but struck out Marte to end the inning.

Key Moment

Suárez's return to the dugout with a smile on his face put one on manager Torey Lovullo's after X-rays on his right hand were negative.

Arizona has won 10 of 13 in Chicago and 18 of 25 overall in the series.
