During spring training, manager Torey Lovullo of the Arizona Diamondbacks reminded listeners that his team will score runs. Given the potency of the Arizona offense over recent years, and with outfielders A. J. Pollock and David Peralta back healthy, this team was destined to cross the plate often.
True to the expectations, the Diamondbacks have emerged as the one of the top scoring teams in the early going. With a team batting average of .267, the Diamondbacks lead the majors in runs scored, hits and triples. They are second in stolen bases, third in extra base hits, batting average and fifth in on-base-percentage.
