Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Awarded another start after two-homer game

Ahmed will draw his second straight start at shortstop and bat seventh Sunday against the Pirates.

Ahmed logged his first career game with multiple home runs after taking PIrates starter Trevor Williams and closer Tony Watson deep for solo shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss. He will earn another starting nod, spelling Brandon Drury. With four homers already this season, Ahmed has equaled his total from all of 2016, but with the Diamondbacks infield at full health, it's uncertain if he'll be able to flash his burgeoning pop often enough to make waves outside of NL-only leagues.
