It didn’t take long for infielder Andy Young to spark the Arizona Diamondbacks’ recent offensive slump.
Since his call up to the Diamondbacks from their alternative training sight, Young has made the most of his big league opportunity. The 26-year-old has three hits in eight at-bats and three RBIs on the year. He went 2-for-2 with a double in his first-ever plate appearance against the Houston Astros on Aug. 4.
Young followed it up with a two-run blast to left-center field for his first big league homer in Sunday’s 9-5 loss to the San Diego Padres.
