The Padres selectively swept the Diamondbacks out of town with a 5-2 victory on a rainy Wednesday afternoon at Petco Park.
Scoring all of their runs in each of the first three innings, the Padres built an early lead that was more than enough for Eric Lauer, who turned in his finest start of the season.
Kirby Yates’ third save in three days completed the Padres’ first sweep of a three-game series since they took three from the visiting Phillies in August 2017. Not since June 2013 had the Padres swept the Diamondbacks in a three-game series.
