The Diamondbacks won 7-5 in 10 innings despite losing their starter to injury and blowing a 4-1 lead.
A wild and crazy road trip continued for the Arizona Diamondbacks as the defeated the San Diego Padres in 10 innings by a score of 7-5.The D-backs entered the game missing their All Star second baseman Ketel Marte, who is day to day with lower back tightness. Unknown to the broadcast team and fans alike, closer Paul Sewald, along with stud fireballer Justin Martinez, were also unavailable.
Pfaadt had to be removed from the game with what the Diamondbacks called a left ankle contusion. Torey Lovullo said after the game that there was a good chance Pfaadt could make his next start. Pfaadt gave up seven hits and one run while striking out five and not walking a batter.came on without any bullpen warmups and struck out Jurickson Profar and Jake Cronenworth in dramatic fashion to end the threat. Ginkel went on to strike out two more in the sixth, retiring the side in order.
There were questions about whether Lovullo should have brought in Thompson in the first place, and whether he should have walked Kim and pitched to number nine hitter Kyle Higashioka instead. Kim was previously 0-3 against Thompson, and Higashioka had a 1.625 OPS with three homers against the D-backs entering the game.
The first baseman delivered once again, ripping a two run single just past a diving Kim into center. Jake McCarthy followed with an RBI groundout, and the D-backs had a 7-4 lead.
