Lawlar went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, a third RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 9-0 win over the Reds.
Lawlar had the Diamondbacks' lone homer in this blowout win. He had gone 0-for-10 with five strikeouts over three games after returning from a two-month absence due to a hamstring strain. Lawlar has the inside track for starts in center field, but that could change if he struggles to find consistency at the plate. He's batting .283 with a .790 OPS, two homers, seven RBI, eight runs scored, two doubles and four stolen bases over 16 contests in the majors this season.
