The game didn't start well for the Diamondbacks. After we were retired - in order, on eight pitches - the Padres' lead-off hitter greeted Chase Anderson rudely, depositing a no-doubter into the bleachers for a very early San Diego lead. But before you could say, "Drunk Irish lass," the Diamondbacks struck back, taking advantage of a Padres' blunder. Yasmany Tomas should have been retired on a routing ground-ball to third, but it was bobbled and Tomas the Tank came into first-base station ahead of schedule.
