The Padres were known for their explosive bats in 2020, leaving every opponent with the feeling that they could pop off at any moment. No deficit was truly safe in Petco Park and so far, the same can be said for your 2021 Friars, as well.
After the Diamondbacks notched an opening inning run for the early lead, the Padres stormed back, rattling off five-straight runs to take a commanding 6-1 lead at the halfway point of the contest. Despite Arizona seizing the lead back with their own scoring run, San Diego held on thanks to some excellent pitching down the stretch to down the D-Backs 8-7 on Opening Day.
