Schmitt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Royals.
The infielder took Steven Cruz deep with two outs in the ninth inning, but the Giants couldn't find an equalizer afterward. Schmitt is up to 20 homers on the season, including four in 17 contests in July, but his .229/.280/.429 slash line on the month is less appealing.
