For the second game in a row, the Padres were involved in a contest that ended by a score of 10-3. Fortunately for the Friars they were on the right side of the scorecard this time around as the Padres piled on for 10 runs on 11 hits in Monday's opener against the Diamondbacks. James Shields delivered one of his finest outings of the season against Arizona while two Padres bats stayed red hot to give San Diego just the outing they needed to put the brakes on a four-game losing streak.
Shields looked sharp on Monday as he surrendered only one earned run on four hits over seven innings of work to keep the Snakes at bay.
