Diamondbacks beat Mariners in pitcher Caleb Smith's debut

By The Associated Press

Caleb Smith threw three solid innings in his first outing with Arizona, long reliever Alex Young worked into the ninth and the Diamondbacks beat the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Friday night.

Smith gave up one hit — Dylan Moore's solo homer in the third — in his first start since the Diamondbacks acquired him in a trade with the Marlins. The left-hander struck out three and walked one.

The 29-year-old hadn't pitched in a big league game since July 25. He was one of 17 players placed on the Marlins' injured list following the team's COVID-19 outbreak in late July.
