Brandon Pfaadt and Humberto Castellanos gave up five runs each and the offense sputtered most of the night.
The Diamondbacks came into Friday night's game with a 1-28 record when trailing by two or more runs at any point in the game. Fernando Tatis Jr. and Jurickson Profar pounced on Brandon Pfaadt for back to back homers in the bottom of the first inning giving the Padres a quick 2-0 lead.
King settled down after that and ended up throwing five scoreless innings. He improved his record to 5-4 with a 3.58 ERA. The D-backs got back in the game in the 7th inning with back to back homers for the second night in a row. Ketel Marte followed a Corbin Carroll walk with a two-run homer down the left field line. It was his 13th homer of the year. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. then came off the bench to pinch hit for Joc Pederson, and hit a solo shot to left as well, his 9th.That was as close as the D-backs got. Humberto Castellanos, pitching in the majors for the first time since 2022, relieved Pfaadt in the 6th.
