SAN DIEGO - Clayton Richard gave San Diego a desperately needed strong pitching performance with a five-hitter that helped the Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-1 on Sunday to snap a five-game losing streak.
The 33-year-old Richard (3-5) also had an RBI single during a three-run rally off Zack Godley (1-1) in the fifth inning that was cut short due to fan interference.
With two outs and the bases loaded, a fan reached over the fence in the right-field corner and caught Wil Myers’ long foul ball. Myers was ruled out. San Diego manager Andy Green challenged, but the call was upheld after review.
