On the other side Robbie Ray got the start for the D’Backs. He pitched 6 innings allowing 5 hits and 3 runs with only 2 of them being earned. He struck out 5 and walked 0 but picked up the loss.
Yonder Alonso got the Padres started in the first inning with a RBI double that brought in Derek Norris. This was Alonso’s 8th double of the season and the Padres lead 1-0 after the first inning.
In the 3rd inning Paul Goldschmidt hit a RBI single to center that brought in Chris Owings and A.J. Pollock. This pushed Goldschmidt’s RBI total to 62 on the year and gave the D’Backs a 2-1 lead.
The Padres had an answer for Arizona in the bottom half of the inning. Cory Spangenberg was able to score on a Welington Castillo throwing error and this tied the game at 2 a piece.
Matt Kemp hit a sacrifice fly in the 5th inning that drove in Spangenberg. This was Kemp’s 39th RBI of the season and the Padres held a 3-2 lead.
