The Padres dropped their third-straight game 5-1 on Friday night in an uninspiring outing against the Diamondbacks in their first match of a three-game series at Chase Field.
A scoreless game through five and half innings, the D-backs’ RF Kole Calhoun hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth to get Arizona on the board. The 1-0 lead stayed put into the bottom of the eighth before Arizona opened things up with four more runs, which all began with a base hit from Calhoun.
