That didn't happen. Wil Myers hit a three-run homer. Austin Hedges added another homer, his sixth of the season and fourth in as many consecutive starts. And suddenly, the Padres had the tying run on second base with two outs in the eighth. D-backs reliever Jorge De La Rosa struck out pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez, and that was all she wrote after Fernando Rodney closed out the ninth.
Still, it was something for the surprising 8-11 Padres to build upon.
"The team doesn't quit," said Andy Green, in his second season as a big league manager for the Padres.
