Pavin Smith hit his first career grand slam, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night.
While he was in the on-deck circle, Smith admitted the thought of hitting a grand slam entered his mind.
"I thought I pitched well," Flaherty said. "For me, all I can do is continue to make pitches until it’s my time to come out of the game.""He had really good stuff," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said about Flaherty. "We battled and we were able to win the game. "I was hoping Corbin walked," Smith said. "I wanted the runner on third with less than two outs. I treated it as a normal AB.""You’re supposed to come in and face the first batter head on," Pallante said. "Walking him on four pitches was unacceptable."
Smith, who had nine homers in 75 games in 2022, began the season at Triple-A Reno and was recalled on April 8.
