Padres get win over Diamondbacks, clinch home field

San Diego jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, but Arizona responded with runs in the second and third innings and took a 2-1 lead. The Padres scored two runs in the bottom of the third inning to regain the lead at 3-2 but the Diamondbacks immediately responded with two runs in the top of the fourth inning and took a one-run lead at 4-3. San Diego removed the thought of losing the game with three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning and two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a commanding 10-4 lead.

Manny Machado powered the scoring outburst for the Padres with a one-out three-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning that landed in the Petco Porch and gave San Diego a 6-4 lead. Xander Bogaerts followed suit and hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning to give the Padres a 7-4 lead. A double, a single and a groundout later in the inning made the score 8-4. Jake Cronenworth capped the scoring for San Diego in the bottom of the sixth with a two-out two-run single on a changeup that he hit back through the middle of the infield to put the Padres up 10-4.

The power arms at the back of the San Diego bullpen made appearances in what was likely their final tuneup before the postseason. Adrian Morejon pitched a scoreless inning, but Mason Miller came in for the top of the ninth inning in a non-save situation and surrendered three runs on three hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
