Facing his former team, and coming in after Garrett Richards retired 13 of his final 14 batters, Smith was hit around like never before. Francisco Lindor began with a line-drive single to cap an eight-pitch at-bat, and then the Indians exploded for five runs on eight pitches, four of which were part of an intentional walk.
Michael Brantley singled on a first-pitch sinker, Carlos Santana lined the go-ahead double on an 0-1 sinker, and Gomes, batting after an intentional walk to Lonnie Chisenhall, pummeled a first-pitch fastball to straightaway center field to clear the bases.
