Arizona Diamondbacks Fall to San Diego Padres
The Arizona Diamondbacks are hitting a rough patch as they chase an NL wild card spot. With five losses in their last six games, the Diamondbacks are trailing behind the Braves and Mets who currently hold the final two playoff spots in the National League.
In a recent game against the San Diego Padres, the Diamondbacks suffered a 5-0 defeat. Kyle Higashioka, Brandon Lockridge, and Donovan Solano hit home runs in the ninth inning, securing the victory for the Padres.

Despite efforts from Diamondbacks’ lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, the Padres managed to dominate the game, with Wandy Peralta securing the win for San Diego.
With the regular season coming to a close, both teams are gearing up for their final matchup. The Padres will start LHP Martín Pérez, while the Diamondbacks are yet to announce their starting pitcher.
