The Diamondbacks and Padres have already faced off 7 times in this short season, and the results have not been good. The D-backs are just 2-5 vs. San Diego this year and have been outscored 35-17. The Padres have clubbed the D-backs into submission, out homering them 15-6. Nobody has hurt them more than Fernando Tatis Jr. who’s hit 4 homers off them while going 11 for 27, batting .407 with a 1.467 OPS. Ouch!
All 7 of those games were in San Diego. This three game series at Chase Field is the last time the teams will face off against each until possibly the playoffs.
