[D’backs.com] Pollock’s return helps lead D-backs past Padres - After sitting out Friday’s contest following a collision with fellow outfielder Chris Owings the night prior, A.J. Pollock returned to roam center field for the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Pollock broke up a 2-2 tie with a two out solo shot to right field in the 3rd off of Padres’ starter Clayton Richard. He also drove in Paul Goldschmidt for the Diamondbacks’ sixth run of the game in the 7th inning.
“Richard is definitely a guy that wants to get you to hit ground balls,” Pollock said when talking about the at-bat in which he went deep.
