The D-backs used the long ball to prevail this afternoon, all six of their runs scoring courtesy of the home-run. Ketel Marte provided the perfect start in that department. He cracked the very first pitch onto the berm in Peoria, to give Arizona a 1-0 lead, before some of the 1,862 in attendance had adjusted their masks into the apparently Padres-approved “sub-nose” configuration. San Diego quickly tied it up, starter Josh Green taking two comebackers off himself, to put Fernando Tatis Jr. on third. He then scored on a sac. pop fly which sent Josh Rojas backpedalling at short.
Diamondbacks 6, Fernando Tatis 3
