Padres 6, Diamondbacks 5: Rene Rivera homered and Yasmani Grandal had two hits and an RBI as visiting San Diego jumped out early and held off Arizona.
Yangervis Solarte, Cameron Maybin and Jedd Gyorko joined Grandal with two hits and an RBI while Rymer Liriano added an RBI for the Padres. Eric Stults (7-16) benefited from all of that support and earned the win despite being charged with five runs - two earned - on seven hits in six innings, and Kevin Quackenbush picked up his third save.
A.J. Pollock homered and drove in four runs for the Diamondbacks, who suffered their seventh straight loss and remained tied with Colorado (59-88) for the worst record in the National League. Vidal Nuno (2-11) was knocked around for six runs and eight hits in five innings to remain winless in 12 starts since joining Arizona.
Pollock’s RBI single in the first gave the Diamondbacks a brief lead before Liriano’s RBI groundout tied it and Maybin’s run-scoring triple into the gap in right-center put San Diego on top in the second inning. Gyorko’s ground-rule double plated Solarte and Grandal added an RBI single in a two-run third to push it to 4-1.
Solarte singled in a run in the fourth and Rivera’s solo shot to left in the fifth made it a 6-1 lead before Arizona made a move. Jake Lamb tripled leading off the fifth and scored on Nolan Reimold’s single before Chris Owings reached on an error in front of Pollock’s three-run blast to the front row in left-center.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Diamondbacks recalled OF Brett Jackson and LHP Joe Patterson, bringing their active roster to 32 players. … Arizona manager Kirk Gibson lost a challenge on a close play at first base in the fourth inning, dropping him to 18-for-33 on challenges this season. … Padres CF Will Venable (back) sat out and is day-to-day.
