D-backs’ Pollock homers, Souza hits two triples in Saturday rehab start

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielders A.J. Pollock and Steven Souza combined for five hits and five RBI for the Triple-A Reno Aces on Saturday night.

It was Pollock’s second rehab game since suffering an avulsion fracture in his left thumb on May 4.

On Friday night, he went hitless in four at-bats.

But on Saturday, Pollock accumulated seven total bases, hit a home run, walked and stole a base.
