SAN DIEGO -- Travis Wood knocked in as many runs as he allowed on Tuesday night, sparking a 6-2 Padres win, their fourth in five games this month against the National League Wild Card-seeking D-backs.
Despite two homers from A.J. Pollock, who batted in the leadoff spot for the first time since July, Arizona did not move any closer to securing the top NL Wild Card spot. Still, the D-backs sit comfortably atop those standings, holding a four-game lead over the Rockies, pending the result of Tuesday's Rockies-Giants game, with 10 games to play.
