Machado, Padres rout D-Backs 12-3
Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports The Padres scored six runs in the fifth inning to take a commanding 6-2 and proceeded to score six more on the night as San Diego split the two-game with Arizona behind a 12-3 routing on Wednesday evening.
The Friars improved their record to 14-12 while the D-Backs fell back to .500 at 12-12.
Despite the plethora of runs and exciting plays, the Padres look to have lost promising yougnster Ryan Weathers after he exited early with an apparent forearm injury after one scoreless inning. He came into tonight’s game with a 0.59 ERA. Aaron Northcraft was the third reliever out of the bullpen and recorded his first major league victory.
