Pavin Smith hit two home runs to drive in four, Ketel Marte homered among his three hits and Eduardo Rodriguez pitched six strong innings as the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks routed the Chicago White Sox 10-0 on Monday.

Arizona out-hit Chicago 13-5, roughing up White Sox starter Shane Smith and four relievers on the way to its fourth win in five games. The White Sox have lost 10 of 12.

Josh Naylor provided all the offense the Diamondbacks needed with a two-run double in the first inning. Pavin Smith smacked a three-run shot in the second and went back-to-back with Marte against reliever Dan Altavilla in the fourth.

Rodriguez (3-4) cruised behind the early support, limiting the White Sox to five hits in six shutout innings while striking out 10 against two walks. He has won each of his five career starts at Rate Field.

Anthony DeSclafani scattered two walks without a hit to earn a three-inning save.

Arizona third baseman Eugenio Suarez, the reigning National League Player of the Week, left the game in the first inning after being hit on the right hand by a pitch. The Diamondbacks called the injury a right hand contusion and said X-rays were negative.

Naylor left in the fourth after experiencing right shoulder discomfort and is day-to-day.

Shane Smith (3-5) endured the shortest of his 15 career starts. He allowed five runs and four hits in two innings with two walks, one hit batsman and two strikeouts.

Edgar Quero (second inning) and Kyle Teel (fifth) contributed leadoff doubles against Rodriguez but the White Sox came up scoreless both times. Vinny Capra singled with one out in the fifth to give Chicago two baserunners before Chase Meidroth grounded into an inning-ending double play.

Jose Herrera delivered RBI singles in the fifth and ninth. The latter came against Capra, who started the game at third base and yielded a pair of unearned runs in the ninth.

Ildemaro Vargas, who entered the game for Suarez, had two hits. Geraldo Perdomo added two hits, including an RBI double.

Home plate umpire Ron Kulpa ejected Quero in the sixth for arguing balls and strikes.
