Groover went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over Cincinnati. The Diamondbacks left several runners in scoring position prior to Groover singling in the game-tying run in the sixth inning. For the night, Arizona was 2-for-12 with RISP. Groover isn't mashing the ball -- no extra-base hits -- but the rookie has hit safely in five consecutive starts and remains part of a rotation with Pavin Smith and Ildemaro Vargas at first base and DH.
