PHOENIX (AP) --- Nick Pivetta held Arizona to two hits over seven innings and
Jake Cronenworth homered as the San Diego Padres defeated the Diamondbacks 8-2
on Sunday to snap a three-game losing streak.
Fernando Tatis Jr. had four hits, scored three runs and stole a base for San
Diego, which bounced back from Saturday's 8-7 loss in which Arizona scored five
runs in the ninth.
Pivetta (7-2) retired the first 12 Arizona batters before walking Josh Naylor
on a full count to open the fifth. Eugenio Surez followed with a 437-foot
homer, his team-leading 21st, for the Diamondbacks' first hit. Pivetta struck
out nine.
After Xander Bogaerts' RBI double gave the Padres a 1-0 lead against Merrill
Kelly, Cronenworth homered to right on the 10th pitch of the at-bat.
Kelly (6-3) gave up seven hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out
seven. The Diamondbacks saw their five-game winning streak end and they
finished their homestand 5-1 ahead of a nine-game road trip.
Anthony DeSclafani, signed by the Diamondbacks before the game, pitched in the
majors for the first time since July 23, 2023, when he was with the Giants. He
finished the game, giving up two runs in 2 1/3 innings including Elias Daz's
fourth homer leading off the ninth.
Key moment After Surez's homer cut the Padres' lead in half, Daz and Tatis doubled off Tayler Scott in the seventh to make it 5-2. Key stat The Diamondbacks have homered in 10 consecutive games, the longest current streak in MLB. They have 18 homers since June 5 and are 6-4 in those games. Up next Padres RHP Dylan Cease (2-5, 4.28 ERA) starts Monday against the Dodgers. The Diamondbacks play at Toronto on Tuesday. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb |
