Lars Nootbaar homered and doubled in a 10-6 win for the Diamondbacks on Friday over the Giants.

Nootbaar also singled. The 28-year-old took Blade Tidwell deep to leadoff the game, and it gives him a pair of homers in 18 games with the Diamondbacks after hitting just three in 48 contests with the Cardinals prior to his trade. Nootbaar’s numbers are still far from what fantasy managers should be looking for, but perhaps this is the springboard to a hot final month plus. Weirder things have happened.
