D-backs bide their time, beat up on Padres' bullpen

Finally, with Ross at 106 pitches, Padres manager Pat Murphy pinch-hit for him in the top of the seventh.

As soon as the Padres bullpen came on, the dormant D-backs offense came alive, scoring five times in the seventh.

"He's nasty," D-backs outfielder A.J. Pollock said of Ross. "I don't know if there's anyone in the league that gets that type of movement on his pitches that he does. His fastball, sometimes it will go straight down, sometimes it will go across like a two-seamer. It's really difficult to zone in on where it needs to start in order for you to be swinging.
