SAN DIEGO -- By his own volition, it's been a frustrating couple of years for D-backs center fielder A.J. Pollock, coping with one injury after another. But right now, he's right where he wants to be.
The right-handed hitter smacked three homers and drove in five runs the past two nights against the Padres at Petco Park, including a three-run shot in the ninth inning on Wednesday that iced a 13-7 win.
Pollock's club has an off-day Thursday, but it is on the verge of making the postseason for the first time since 2011.
