PHOENIX -- When Carlos Asuaje earned his callup to the Padres earlier this week, manager Andy Green indicated his performance would dictate his playing time.
Sure seems like Asuaje is going to keep playing.
The second-year second baseman has been on a tear all week, having reached base in nine of his 11 plate appearances. On Thursday night, Asuaje reached all four times, sparking a much-needed offensive breakout and a 6-3 victory over the D-backs at Chase Field.
Asuaje's 1-out triple Asuaje tripled and scored in the first inning.
