D-backs' Young changing approach

The Arizona Republic reports that Chris Young is not losing confidence with his recent slump. He's trying some things to break out, according to manager Bob Melvin.
Melvin said before the game that Young has been concentrating on fixing weaknesses in his game to the point where he hasn't utilized his strengths, suggesting the natural pull hitter has been trying too hard to go the other way.
Interesting that "going with the pitch" rather than trying to pull it would seem a good way to get out of a slump, and Young is being advised to do the opposite.
