PHOENIX—Pinch-hitter Pavin Smith connected for a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning Monday night to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 4–2 victory over the San Francisco Giants.

Jake McCarthy got the winning rally started with a looping, one-out double down the left-field line. Smith—hitting for Eugenio Suárez—smashed a pitch from Randy Rodríguez (1–1) that barely cleared the yellow line above the wall in center field.
