Souza went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a stolen base Friday in the Diamondbacks' 3-1 win over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Souza drove in the runs on a sixth-inning groundout and an eighth-inning single, doubling up his RBI count (one) from his first 15 appearances of the season combined. The 29-year-old was starting his second straight game after being sidelined for about five and a half weeks with a right pectoral strain, the same injury that kept him on the disabled list out of spring training. Perhaps as a byproduct of the health issues, Souza hasn't looked himself at the plate this season, going just 8-for-50 (.160 average) with only one extra-base hit. Souza will probably need to pick up the pace offensively in his subsequent opportunities if he's to hold off Jon Jay for primary duties in right field.
