Diamondbacks' Nick Ahmed: Bats second in loss

Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

Ahmed, who has primarily batted in the lower third of the order, hit out of the two-hole for the second time in four games. As the Diamondbacks infuse the lineup with prospects and less-proven talent, Ahmed will be given a slot higher in the batting order among the team's best hitters. The shortstop has seven hits in his last 15 at-bats.
