Diamondbacks 7, San Diego 10: Garbage Time, As It Turned Out

The San Diego Padres defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-7 in a crucial matchup impacting the National League wild card race. Arizona entered the game aiming to extend their winning streak and edge closer to clinching a postseason spot. Despite opening opportunities created by Walker Buehler's outing for San Diego and a Phillies loss earlier in the day, the Diamondbacks bullpen game faltered.

Taylor Clarke opened for Arizona but exited early under manager Torey Lovullo after conceding an early lead. Relief pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga and Kevin Ginkel surrendered runs following offensive contributions from Geraldo Perdomo, Corbin Carroll, and Gabriel Moreno. San Diego capitalized on defensive miscues and timely hits, ultimately sealing the 10-7 victory over Arizona.
