D-backs start fast but fade vs. Padres

Ryan Schimpf hit a pair of homers for his first career multi-homer game, driving in three runs. Yangervis Solarte went 3-for-5, a triple shy of the cycle, with five RBIs. Wil Myers and Matt Kemp also collected three hits apiece. San Diego flamethrower Jose Dominguez (1-0) earned the win, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings, including a strikeout of Rickie Weeks with two outs and the bases loaded in the fifth -- and the game hanging in the balance.

"The biggest moment of the game was Jose Dominguez coming in," said Padres manager Andy Green.
