Not even throwback jerseys could get the Diamondbacks back in the win column as they suffered a ninth consecutive defeat tonight.
Taking advantage of rookie Ryne Nelson on the mound, the Padres swiftly surged to a commanding 6-1 lead, seemingly securing the game’s fate before the fourth inning ended.
Two two-run home runs, a triple, and a flurry of base hits proved sufficient to force Nelson out of the game after a mere three innings.
