Record: 2-4. Change on 2016: -2.
If you had made a quick exit from Salt River Fields this afternoon, leaving after five innings in order to beat the rush-hour traffic on the 101, this would have seemed like a pretty good game. For at that point, the Diamondbacks were 6-0 ahead of the Padres. Archie Bradley had escaped a jam in the first inning, then rebounded back with two solid frames, while a five-run second inning had Arizona, surely, on the way to victory. Then the D-backs B-bullpen said, “Here, hold my beer,” promptly allowing the Padres to score eight times in the seventh and eighth inning.
