On a cool night at Petco Park in San Diego a sparse crowd saw the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres square off in a pitchers duel. The Padres Erick Aybar homered with one out in the bottom of the eighth inning as San Diego held on for a 1-0 victory over Arizona.
Arizona's lack of offensive power cost Zack Greinke a possible win. The Diamondbacks' ace came out dealing and struck out two in the first and got the first five outs of the game on 15-pitches.
