Late home run proves costly again as Diamondbacks lose third straight
By the Associated Press
SAN DIEGO – Eric Hosmer’s two-run, opposite-field home run off Zack Greinke highlighted the three-run sixth inning that carried the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
Greinke (6-2), who recorded his 2,500th career strikeout in the fourth, was working on a one-hit shutout when he ran into trouble in the sixth. Ian Kinsler singled with one out, advanced on Franmil Reyes’ groundout and scored on Manny Machado’s single. Hosmer then drove Greinke’s next pitch to left field to give the Padres the lead. It was Hosmer’s seventh.
