Overview

  • Fernando Tatis Jr. opened the third inning with his 16th homer of the season to tie the game and Manny Machado led off the fifth with his 16th shot to put San Diego ahead
  • Adrian Morejon worked 1⅔ scoreless innings to earn the win and Robert Suarez closed out the ninth for his major league-leading 27th save
  • Diamondbacks starter Eduardo Rodriguez allowed four runs on eight hits over 4⅓ innings and was tagged with the loss
  • Arizona’s rotation delivered three quality starts from Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly and Brandon Pfaadt earlier in the series but could not secure the finale
  • The split moves San Diego to 50-43 while dropping Arizona to 46-48 as both teams jostle for position in the NL West and wild-card races
