SAN FRANCISCO – The Diamondbacks’ season is nine games old and already there have been constant reminders of the value A.J. Pollock provides, value they were missing for nearly all of last season. They got another, perhaps the biggest yet, in the third inning of Tuesday night’s 4-3 win over the San Francisco Giants.
On a dead run, Pollock made a highlight reel catch of an Aaron Hill drive at the warning track, taking away what looked to be an extra-base hit before crashing into the wall in center field.
“I thought it was a hit,” Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray said.
