Description: Diamondbacks 3B/OF Martin Prado hit his first homer since April 29 Tuesday versus Miami. | Insight: Prado had a homer drought of 44 games (42 starts). Despite a batted ball distribution (22.3% LD, 48.6% GB, 29.1% FB) that is nearly identical to last season, Prado's BABIP is just .260 compared to .322 last year. That explains why his average has dropped from .301 to .245. He should have better luck in the last few months of the season. | | |
