The Padres scored 13 runs on 14 hits, eight of them for extra bases, in another blowout win over the Diamondbacks.
Padres starting pitcher Matt Waldron continued his string of fantastic starts on Friday night against the Diamondbacks, allowing just one run in 6.0 innings. He's only given up seven runs in his last 35.1 innings, a stellar stretch for the only guy in the major leagues that throws a knuckleball.
Usually that's enough to have a big chunk of the game story written about you. But when your offense goes off for 13 runs on 14 hits, putting up double digits for a second straight night, you kind of have to take a back seat to the bats. San Diego launched no fewer than eight extra-base hits in a 13-1 shellacking of the Diamondbacks that gave the Friars at least a split of their 4-game series.Ha-Seong Kim dealt the first big blow.
In that same inning David Peralta doubled and scored on a Jackson Merrill double . San Diego's offense got going again in the 5th with another 4-run rally highlighted by a 2-run 2-bagger from Peralta, who had his best day as a Padre filling in for the injured Manny Machado at DH. Their final run came from their final home run of the night.
Catcher Kyle Higashioka ripped a solo dinger to centerfield in the 6th inning, his second straight game with a homer. By the time the dust had settled every single member of San Diego's starting lineup had at least one hit. On Sunday they can win their 4-game set with the Diamondbacks when rookie Adam Mazur makes his second career big league start against Arizona righty Scott McGough.
