Thomas went 2-for-5 with a home run, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas entered Friday 1-for-16 across his previous five games. He put an end to that skid with an RBI triple in the first inning, and he added a two-run blast in the seventh to pad Arizona's lead. The three-bagger was the first of his major-league career. The rookie outfielder is now slashing .258/.315/.442 with seven homers, 19 RBI, 26 runs scored and four stolen bases through 178 plate appearances. Thomas had a 12-game hitting streak during June, so he's found some success at the plate early in his career and will look to get back on track in July.

Thomas went 0-for-4 as the second batter in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo recently moved Thomas up in the order while Ketel Marte dealt with a hamstring injury, but it was unclear if the move would be a permanent one. In the two games Marte has played since the injury, Thomas was moved back down the order against a lefty and batted second against a righty.

One day after seeing his 12-game hitting streak end, the rookie snapped a 16-game homer drought by taking Mike Clevinger deep in the third inning to get Arizona on the board. Thomas is having a productive June overall, slashing .290/.359/.449 with three of his six home runs and all four of his stolen bases on the season.

Thomas went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
The Diamondbacks mustered only five hits in the contest, and Thomas' was the only one to go for extra bases. He also recorded his fourth steal of the season, all of which have come during his current 12-game hitting streak. In that span, the rookie outfielder is 16-for-44 (.364) with two doubles, five RBI, nine runs scored and a 6:9 BB:K. Overall, he's up to a .276/.338/.440 slash line with five home runs, 14 RBI, 22 runs scored and seven doubles through 148 plate appearances. His strong hitting has solidified his spot in the lineup as Arizona's primary center fielder.

Thomas went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas went the other way with a second-inning double that produced Arizona's first run. That's something the rookie's worked on, as opposing teams often deploy a shift against the lefty hitter. The extra-base knock extended his hit streak to eight games and was his first extra-base hit in his last 11 contests. Thomas is 11-for-29 with five RBI, five walks, three stolen bases and seven runs scored during the hit streak.

Thomas went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas extended his hitting streak to seven games with an infield single in the 11th inning. He then stole second and scored on a wild pitch to tie the game once again. During the streak, the rookie outfielder is 10-for-25 (.400) with three steals, four RBI and six runs. He's logged a .270/.336/.443 slash line with five home runs, three steals, 13 RBI and 19 runs in 128 plate appearances overall. Thomas has taken command of a starting role in center field, pushing the versatile Daulton Varsho to right field with the return of catcher Carson Kelly from the injured list.
