Jake McCarthy News: Homer, steal in loss

McCarthy went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and a second run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Marlins.

McCarthy slugged his first home run of the season in his 17th game with Arizona, and he also picked up his second steal. The outfielder has settled into a steady role in right field in the absence of Corbin Carroll (wrist). McCarthy and Randal Grichuk look set to share the position, but McCarthy has the platoon advantage. McCarthy is batting .100 with two extra-base hits, four RBI and four runs scored over 57 plate appearances in the majors so far this season, so he'll likely have to settle for a spot in the bottom-third of the lineup until he raises his production.
