The Arizona Diamondbacks hit four home runs, including a Geraldo Perdomo grand slam, in their win over the San Diego Padres on July 9.

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.

Geraldo Perdomo hit a grand slam and All-Stars Eugenio Suárez and Corbin Carroll, as well as James McCann, also homered for the Arizona Diamondbacks in an 8-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night.

The Diamondbacks counter with right-hander Brandon Pfaadt (8-6, 5.42), who's coming off a 7-2 loss Thursday against San Francisco. Pfaadt yielded six hits and four runs in six innings, walking two and striking out eight. He's 1-2 with a 3.48 ERA in six career starts against San Diego.

Nick Pivetta is an out away from 11th quality start, Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Jr. rob home runs in Padres win over Diamondbacks

San Diego Padres star third baseman Manny Machado recorded his 2,000 career hit in the team's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday.

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.

Darvish was well past his prime when the Padres got him, yet has avoided a serious arm injury in his Padres tenure. Similarly, Snell suffered no alarming setbacks — certainly nothing comparable to the shoulder ailment that has sidelined the Dodgers’ $180-million winter addition for most of this season.
