The Diamondbacks continue to hang around .500, moving to 45-46 after Monday's win. They're still 4.5 games out of the NL Wild Card, but now it's the Giants that hold the third spot. The Padres are 48-42, but still sit seven games back of the Dodgers for first place in the division, and fell behind the Giants and out of a Wild Card position.

Diamondbacks starter Brandon Pfaadt entered the game with a 5.42 ERA and went eight innings for the first time in his career. The Padres scored both their runs and managed four hits against the right-hander, who had not had a quality start in any of his eight starts leading up to Wednesday.
