ARLINGTON, Texas – It took until his 12th game for Eduardo Escobar to hit his first home run with his new team, and the Diamondbacks third baseman followed it up with another homer the next day. Manager Torey Lovullo thinks Escobar’s comfort level might have had something to do with that.
“I think all players when they get thrown into a new environment take a little time to adjust,” Lovullo said. “He’s been doing great, but I know him hitting that first home run was quite a relief for him. Hopefully there’s a lot of that to come.
