After being sent down to Triple-A on September 13th, outfielder Pavin Smith quickly made an impact with the Reno Aces this week.

Smith, who went 1-7 at the plate for the Diamondbacks in the beginning of September, bounced back by slashing .529 on nine hits, two home runs, and eight RBIs down in Triple-A.

This earned him the title of Pacific Coast League Player of the Week. It marked the third straight week that a member of the Aces has claimed this honor.
