Pavin Smith has 2 HRs and 4 RBIs as Diamondbacks beat White Sox 10-0
CHICAGO (AP) — Pavin Smith homered twice and drove in four runs, and Arizona beat the Chicago White Sox 10-0 on Monday night in a game that saw the Diamondbacks lose Eugenio Suárez and Josh Naylor to injuries.
Suárez left after he was hit on the right hand in the first inning on a pitch from Shane Smith. The team announced he had a right-hand contusion and X-rays were negative.
Naylor, who hit a two-run double in the first for a 2-0 lead, appeared to injure his shoulder on a swing in the second and left in the fourth after grounding out. He is day to day with right shoulder discomfort.
Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4) gave up five hits and struck out 10 in six innings. It was the first time he hasn't allowed a run through five innings since Sept. 24, 2023, while pitching for the Tigers. He is 5-0 in five career starts at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Anthony DeSclafani struck out four in three hitless innings for his first career save. He issued two walks in the ninth before striking out Michael A. Taylor to end it.
Pavin Smith extended the Diamondbacks' lead to 5-0 in the second with his seventh homer — a three-run shot to right field off Shane Smith (3-5), who lasted just two innings.
Ketel Marte and Pavin Smith hit back-to-back homers off Dan Altavilla in the fourth for a 7-0 advantage. It was the 14th home run for Marte, who finished 3 for 6 and has gone 13 for 21 with at least three hits in each of his last four starts.
Jose Herrera had RBI singles in the fifth and ninth.
Position player Vinny Capra made his third appearance in relief this season for Chicago. He surrendered an RBI ground-rule double to Geraldo Perdomo in the ninth following Herrera's RBI but struck out Marte to end the inning.
Key moment
Suárez's return to the dugout with a smile on his face put one on manager Torey Lovullo's after X-rays on his right hand were negative.
Key stat
Arizona has won 10 of 13 in Chicago and 18 of 25 overall in the series.
Up next
The White Sox haven't announced a starter for Tuesday against Diamondbacks RHP Ryne Nelson (4-2, 3.88 ERA).

Blackhawks star Duncan Keith named to Hockey Hall of Fame
Three-time Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup champion Duncan Keith is heading to the Hockey Hall of Fame, after he was named as part of the eight-member class of 2025 on Tuesday. Keith, who twice won the Norris Trophy as the league's best defenseman, won three Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks in 2010, 2013, and 2015. He was also a four-time NHL All-Star, and won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2015 as the most valuable player of the Stanley Cup playoffs, scoring the championship-clinching goal in Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He also won two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada in 2010 and 2014. "On behalf of the Chicago Blackhawks organization, I'd like to congratulate Duncan on being named to the Hockey Hall of Fame class of 2025," Blackhawks Chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz said in a statement. "Duncan defined the modern archetype for a complete defenseman. His opponents feared his shutdown defense as much as they respected his offensive prowess. He played with grit and heart, giving his all every second he was on the ice. While Blackhawks fans have long understood Duncan's profound impact on the game, we're thrilled to see his legacy now celebrated on hockey's biggest stage as he takes his well-deserved place among the game's all-time greats." Drafted by the Blackhawks in 2002, he is the team's all-time leader among defensemen in games played with 1,192. He also ranks second in assists (520) and points (625), and ranks third in goals (105). He leads all Blackhawks defensemen in career playoff games played (135), assists (68), and points (86), and ranks 4th in playoff goals among Blackhawks defensemen with 18. After 16 seasons with the Blackhawks, he played his final NHL season with the Edmonton Oilers in 2021-22 before retiring. He is joined in the 2025 Hockey Hall of Fame class by fellow NHL stars Alexander Mogilny, Joe Thornton, and Zdeno Chara; along with women's hockey stars Brianna Decker and Jennifer Botterill, longtime Boston University coach Jack Parker, and women's coach Daniele Sauvageau.

Cubs Trade Idea Ships Matt Shaw, Moisés Ballesteros for Alex Bregman
Cubs Trade Idea Ships Matt Shaw, Moisés Ballesteros for Alex Bregman originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs should be aggressive at the trade deadline. At 46-32, the Cubs hold a 3.5-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers for the National League Central and look well-positioned to go on a run this October. This crucial 2025 campaign coincides with contract years for star outfielder Kyle Tucker and President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer. Advertisement Neither of them is in Chicago to waste time, and adding a marquee third baseman should be atop the front office's wishlist. One option and a best fit, according to Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan of ESPN, is Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman. Here is what they had to say: 'Bregman has been an elite big league hitter since he entered the league in 2016 but has leaned more into power this year, with his highest isolated power since 2019. Most of his underlying power indicators (barrel rate, maximum exit velo, average launch angle and hard hit rate) are at career highs. His $40 million salary -- and the chance to opt into two more years at $40 million annually -- significantly shortens the list of teams that would take on his deal.' A blockbuster Cubs-Red Sox trade could look something like this: Advertisement Chicago receives: 3B Alex Bregman Boston receives: 3B Matt Shaw, C/1B Moisés Ballesteros (No. 3) Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw (6) throws to first for an out against the St. Louis Cardinals in the fourth inning at Busch Puetz-Imagn Images The Cubs have been notoriously stingy, especially given their big city, big market resources, under this ownership regime. They were outbid for Bregman's services this past offseason, but have a chance to capitalize on their miss. Bregman is currently on the 10-day injured list with a quad injury, but is not expected to miss much more time. It came at an unfortunate time as the 31-year-old is having one of his better seasons as a Big Leaguer. Bregman is batting .299 with a .938 OPS, a 159 OPS+, 11 home runs, and 22 walks to 42 strikeouts over 51 games. Advertisement Chicago does have former No. 1 prospect Matt Shaw at the hot corner, but his .219 batting average, .610 OPS, and 77 OPS+ are not going to cut it for a team with real title aspirations. Flipping him for an instant upgrade could put this team over the top. Ballesteros is another top prospect for the Cubs. Still, he is easier to sacrifice with Carson Kelly and Miguel Amaya (who is on the shelf for now) having phenomenal seasons at the plate. Boston also gets to replenish its already strong farm system and induce a mini reset on this underwhelming season. This deal would be contingent upon Bregman opting in and sticking with Chicago. There are risks involved, but Hoyer and co. are in no position to take the conservative path.

Trade Idea Lands Cubs Answer at Third Base
Trade Idea Lands Cubs Answer at Third Base originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs' offense has been stellar in 2025, ranking No. 2 in MLB, averaging 5.37 runs per game. The only weakness in the Cubs' lineup has been the production from third base. Advertisement Chicago have tried a few different options, but none have been able to provide consistent success. Rookie third baseman Matt Shaw has received the bulk of the work at third base. Shaw was one of the Cubs' top infield prospects coming into the season, and Chicago hoped he could grow into the future at the position. However, in 48 games and 160 at-bats, Shaw has struggled, hitting just .219 with a .313 SLG, and just a couple of home runs and nine RBI. The young third baseman struggled mightily out of the gate and was sent back down to Triple-A. When he rejoined the major league club, he had a stretch where he got hot, but he has not been able to sustain it. The Cubs' other options at third base have come from a combination of Vidal Brujan, Jon Berti, Nicky Lopez, and Gage Workman, who have combined to hit less than .160 and seven RBI in total. Advertisement ESPN's Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan put together a list of trade candidates that has Arizona Diamondbacks' third baseman Eugenio Suarez as a potential answer for the Cubs at third base. Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez (28) hits a two run home run against the Toronto Blue Jays in the second inning at Rogers Hamilton - Imagn Images Suarez is 34 years old and in the final year of his contract, so he would be a likely trade piece for the Diamondbacks at the deadline if they decide to sell. Although Arizona has been against becoming sellers all season, their wave of injuries has nearly forced them to consider all options. The Diamondbacks' third baseman is having a very strong season, hitting .251 with an .892 OPS. Suarez has hit 25 home runs on the season and leads the National League with 67 RBI. The 12-year veteran currently holds a 142 OPS+ this season, which, if it continues, would set a new career-high. Advertisement Suarez did leave the Diamondbacks' game against the Chicago White Sox on Monday after being hit by a pitch on his left hand. However, his initial X-rays came back negative, and it's been labeled as a left-hand contusion. With Suarez in the final year of his contract, the Cubs would likely be acquiring the third baseman solely for a World Series run in 2025. However, the Cubs already rank No. 2 in runs scored, and adding an elite hitter to the one weak spot in the lineup could lift the Cubs to where they need to be.
