Arizona tied a franchise record by scoring at least five runs in its first six games. Both Lamb and Souza missed extended time last season, Lamb with a shoulder injury that required surgery and Souza with a pectoral muscle injury. They combined for 128 games, 510 plate appearances and 11 homers, but with health was to come a return to form. “(Losing) two guys you are really counting on, two big horses, that hurts,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “We’re going to rely on being a good baseball team to preserve runs,” Lovullo said.
