In Tuesday night’s dramatic victory over the Mets, it was Josh Rojas and Josh Reddick who got all the glory, tying the game in the ninth and winning it respectively. But key elements in the victory belonged to Pavin Smith. He had first brought the D-backs back into the game, with his three-run homer in the sixth, which made it a one-run game. But then, with one out in the tenth, he came back from an 0-2 count to draw a walk. He then scored the winning run on Reddick’s drive, just fair down the right field line. It was the latest bit of success for the 25-year-old left-hander.
