San Diego 6, Arizona 7
Zac Gallen was solid but unspectacular until the fifth inning. Then the wheels fell off and he allowed a six-run frame. Caleb Smith came in and tossed three innings of shutout ball to follow up. While Smith held the Friars in check, the Diamondbacks chipped away, scoring two of their four seventh inning runs on back-to-back HBP with the bases loaded, an event that had never occurred (in any inning) in Diamondbacks history. Christian Walker took care of the walk-off honours in the ninth when the Padres’ Eric Hosmer was unable to make a clean play (or throw) as he dove into the hole between first and second base.
