PHOENIX — The Diamondbacks’ front office got a bit deeper Saturday, when former general manager Kevin Towers agreed to remain in the organization after a meeting with new GM Dave Stewart.

"We’re going to work together for a long time," said Stewart, who wasted little time in his second day on the job. "Our conversation was a good, long conversation. He got me up to speed on the organization, and we’re going to be just fine.

"I’m so glad he’s agreed to say with us."

Towers’ title wasn’t announced but he is expected to do professional scouting and perhaps some amateur scouting in his new position, although his role has not been fully defined. Towers, who was hired as the D-backs GM on Sept. 22, 2010, has 18 years experience as a general manager.

The D-backs were not shy in wanting Towers to stay. During Friday’s press conference to introduce Stewart and De Jon Watson, D-backs chief baseball officer Tony La Russa mentioned Towers as "a certain person that will be helpful to all of us."

"We’re a good baseball group and we’re all going the same direction," Stewart said.

David Peralta produced his fourth three-hit game Saturday, the day t-shirts with his name on the back were handed out to fans.

2 — two-homer games by Mark Trumbo in the past week. He hit two against Colorado last Sunday.

* With his strikeout of Mark Ellis for the first out of the fourth inning, Wade Miley reached 200 innings for the second straight season. He is the second D-backs lefty to do that, joining Randy Johnson (1999-2002). "It’s a goal you set for yourself, but it’s not that big of a deal," said Miley, who finished with 201-1/3 innings. "I want to maximize innings, throw as much as you can. The more innings you throw, the more you benefit your club." Miley finished 2014 with an 8-12 record and 4.34 ERA, setting career highs in strikeouts (183) and walks (75).

* Trumbo is on a bit of a roll. He has six homers and 17 RBIs in his last 11 games, ending the season about the way he started, when he had nine homers in his first nine games. "I aim to be as consistent as I can be, but I think history shows I can be a tad streaky," Trumbo said. "Sometimes the good times are pretty good, and sometimes the others are not. It seems like recently it has been going OK."

* Ender Inciarte got his 15-game hitting streak out of the way early, doubling inside the bag at first base to lead off the first inning. Inciarte has led off 12 of the last 15 games with a hit.

Paul Goldschmidt took batting practice for the first time since suffering a fractured fourth metacarpal in his left hand on Aug. 1. "That will put a smile on a lot of our faces," acting manager Alan Trammell said. "I think we would all admit, No. 1, how much we missed him. Obviously, that has hurt us tremendously." Goldschmidt took soft toss earlier in the week. His surgery did not require pins to be inserted to set the fracture, and he is expected to be 100 percent by spring training.
