PHOENIX -- In his third game back from a major injury, A.J. Pollock looked like the player he was in 2015.Pollock went 3 for 5 and stole two bases for his first hits and steals of the season after being out with a broken elbow since the end of spring training, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cincinnati Reds 11-2 on Sunday.Its weird. I never really think about hits but when you have no hits, its nice to get that first one, said Pollock, who hit .315 with 20 home runs, 39 steals and 192 hits last season. I still feel like the games a little fast, but its natural. Im sure it will get better.I was trying to impact the game as many ways as I can, he added.Yasmany Tomas homered, Welington Castillo drove in four runs and Archie Bradley earned his first win in more than a month for Arizona, which totaled 18 hits and rebounded from a blowout loss the previous day.Castillo had two hits, a run-scoring single in the fifth and an RBI double in the eighth, and knocked in runs with a fielders choice grounder and a sacrifice fly.We all know that this team can hit like that, so its just about time, Castillo said. We had plan to go out there and we executed.Bradley (5-8) allowed two runs and five hits with three strikeouts over six innings in his first win since July 27.Tomas delivered a pinch-hit three-run shot in the sixth inning off Reds reliever Ross Ohlendorf, his team-leading 27th of the season. It was the first pinch-hit home run of Tomass career, and 10 of his last 19 hits have been home runs.We hit the ball back up the middle. Great to see A.J. get involved with the bat and baserunning, thats his favorite thing when he gets on those bases, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. (Tomas) wasnt happy about not being in the lineup. Thats what I want. I want him to want to play every day.The Diamondbacks scored four runs in the first off Reds starter Homer Bailey (2-3), all on singles, force outs and an error.Jake Lamb was originally called out at home plate when he attempted to score on Brandon Drurys base hit to center field, on a throw from center fielder Billy Hamilton to catcher Ramon Cabrera.But the Diamondbacks challenged the tag play and umpires overturned the call on video review, ruling Cabrera dropped the ball for an error.Pollock had one of the five singles in the first for Arizona. Pollock, Michael Bourn and Chris Owings had three hits each for Arizona.Bailey was charged with three earned runs and five hits in his only inning.After the game he and manager Bryan Price said Bailey has dealt with recent bicep tenderness.We realized early that Homer didnt have it, Price said. They got four in the first and you try to dig yourself out of the hole and we hit a couple of homers, then we werent able to find the right recipe and gave up seven.The Reds pulled to 4-2 in the second on back-to-back solo home runs from Brandon Phillips and Scott Schebler. For Schebler, it was his third homer in two games.Pollocks two steals and Castillos sacrifice fly gave the Diamondbacks a 5-2 lead in the third.LEADOFF MANPhil Gosselin hit leadoff for Arizona on Sunday, giving star first baseman Paul Goldschmidt a day off. Gosselin had two hits and became the first Diamondbacks first baseman to start a game hitting leadoff since Conor Jackson on April 17, 2010.BIRTHDAY BALLGAMEU.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) celebrated his 80th birthday at the game. He was shown on the Chase Field video board, which drew applause.TRAINERS ROOMReds: C Tucker Barnhart remained out of the lineup with right hand soreness, missing his third straight game.Diamondbacks: INF Jean Segura was held out of the lineup with an upset stomach. ... Pollock played in his third straight game since his return from a fractured elbow, and Hale indicated hell keep Pollock in the lineup as long as he feels good. Arizona has two days off this coming week.UP NEXTReds: RHP Dan Straily (10-6) opens up a three-game series with the Los Angeles Angels Monday night. Opponents are hitting .214 against him this season, and hes 6-0 in eight starts since the All-Star break.Diamondbacks: After a day off Monday, the Diamondbacks have ace Zack Greinke (11-4) set to pitch the opener of a two-game series against the Giants. Greinke is 8-1 in 12 career starts against San Francisco. Jeremy Mathieu Barcelona Jersey . Olli Jokinen, Mark Scheifele, and Bryan Little each had a goal and an assist as Winnipeg won 5-2, handing Calgary its record-setting seventh consecutive loss on home ice. Andres Iniesta Barcelona Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. http://www.barcelonafcteamshop.us/ . The quest begins with what is supposed to be an easy one, although Germany has traditionally been a stubborn opponent to Canadian teams at international tournaments. Custom Barcelona Jerseys .25 million option on reliever Jose Veras. Andres Iniesta Jersey . The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. Former super middleweight world titleholder Lucian Bute will be allowed to resume his career after getting off with time served and a $50,000 fine. He reached a settlement on Friday with the Washington, D.C. Boxing and Wrestling Commission on his failed drug test.On April 30, at the DC Armory, Montreals Bute challenged 168-pound titleholder Badou Jack. Bute was awarded a majority draw in a fight most thought Jack clearly won. After the fight, Butes urine sample tested positive for the banned substance ostarine (also called enobosarm), which is supposed to increase stamina and recovery ability. It is a substance that has been on the World Anti-Doping Agency banned list since 2008.Bute denied having knowingly taken a banned substance. The Washington commission, following its investigation, went along with Butes assertion that he ingested the substance due to contamination of nutritional supplements prescribed by Butes conditioning trainer and created by a laboratory in California.According to the terms of the settlement, announced by Bute promoter Yvon Michel and confirmed to ESPN by the Washington, D.C. commission, Bute was suspended for six months. But that suspension is retroactive to the date of the positive test, May 6, which means it expired earlier this month. Bute, who has earned millions in his career, also agreed to contribute $50,000 to the WBCs Clean Boxing Program with the money earmarked to go toward drug-testing costs for future events in Washington, D.C.The athletic commission therefore agrees to reject the disputed case immediately with the compromise reached between the parties and does not in any way consider that this compromise constitutes an admission on the part of Lucian Bute of the alleged facts or circumsstances, Michel said in a statement.ddddddddddddMichel said Bute would pay the $50,000 without delay and that he may now box at the place and time of his choice right now. The case is now permanently closed.The Washington commission declined to comment but said it planned to release a statement Monday. However, commission chairman Adam Weers told ESPN that the commission would change the result of the fight. It will become either a no decision or a disqualification loss for Bute, Weers said.I am extremely happy that everything is now over, Bute said in a statement.Bute went on to thank the many who have supported him during these dark and painful hours of my life. I would also like to thank the members of the athletic commission of the District of Columbia and its chairman, Mr. Adam Weers, for listening and understanding, as well as WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman for giving me the benefit of the doubt and keeping me in the rankings of the best super middleweight challengers.Bute said he has continued to train during the months since the positive test and that he is more determined than ever to take the road back to regaining his world title.I am surrounded by the best team to guide me, Bute said. I have, more than ever, the enthusiasm and will to fight. I have a lot of years ahead of me, and I cannot wait to get back into the ring in early 2017.The 36-year-old Bute (32-3-1, 25 KOs, pending the eventual record change) held a super middleweight world title from 2007 to 2012 and made nine successful defenses. But he is 2-3-1 in his past six fights (before the result of the fight with Jack is changed).
