PHOENIX —
Chris Paddack’s march toward an even stronger future was lost in the work done by the other team’s rookie starter against the Padres’ plummeting offense and a loud grand slam gift-wrapped by Luis Perdomo.
Diamondbacks’ right-hander Zac Gallen did not allow a hit through 6 1/3 innings and just one through seven, and Ketel Marte made him a winner with a grand slam in the bottom of the seventh, as the Diamondbacks beat the Padres 4-1 to complete a three-game sweep.
Manny Machado’s single off Gallen with one out in the seventh was the first of three Padres hits Thursday.
