--OF Chris Young broke an 0-for-23 slump with an infield single in the sixth inning Tuesday, his hit coming when Dodgers SS Rafael Furcal could not make a clean transfer on a slow grounder. Furcal did not make a throw to first base on what could have been a routine groundout. Young, hitting .167, was dropped to seventh in the order for the second time in three starts and has hit in every spot in the order expect fourth and eighth. He was ranked No. 99 among the 101 qualifiers for the NL batting title and No. 100 in on-base percentage entering Tuesday's game.
BY THE NUMBERS: .212 -- D-backs' batting average with runners in scoring position, through May 3.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "To succeed in anything -- fielding, base running and, of course, hitting, you have to be aggressive and kind of let your baseball instincts take over. It's really just playing the game and finding a way to get it done." -- OF Justin Upton, about his approach during his hitting streak.
