Asuaje went 2-for-2 with a pair of walks, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's victory over the Diamondbacks.
Asuaje has been locked in since being called up July 1, going 5-for-7 with four walks over four games (two starts). The 26-year-old struggled during his first stint in the majors (.193/.256/.284 in 43 games prior to demotion), but he earned his recent callup after slashing .338/.408/.492 with Triple-A El Paso. Jose Pirela and Cory Spangenberg remain in the mix at the keystone, but Asuaje is making a strong case to earn more playing time if he can keep this up.
