Thomas went 2-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in Wednesday's 12-5 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas put the Diamondbacks in front 6-5 in the third inning with a three-run homer off Chris Flexen, his eighth of the season, before driving in two more runs with a base hit in the fourth. Thomas had gone just 2-for-20 with one RBI in seven games before Wednesday's contest, and the home run was his first since Aug. 1. Overall, the 23-year-old outfielder is slashing .241/.284/.396 with 44 runs scored, 31 RBI and seven steals through 325 plate appearances this season. Thomas has gotten regular playing time against right-handed pitching, though he could see an expanded role if Corbin Carroll (wrist) is forced to miss time.

Thomas went 3-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader sweep over the Padres. He went 2-for-3 with three runs scored in the second game.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas busted out with his first multi-hit game since July 29. August hasn't been kind to the outfielder, who entered Saturday's doubleheader batting .219 (7-for-32) during 15 games this month. Thomas has been a better hitter since a return from the minors in June, but the Diamondbacks will continue to limit his exposure to southpaws.
