The Padres got back to taking patient at-bats Sunday.
All they did was wait for Madison Bumgarner to throw them pitches in the strike zone, and they hit them over the wall in left field. Then they hit a couple offerings from Taylor Widener into the seats as well.
After the Padres had set a team record with six home runs in a home game, they settled in to watch Dinelson Lamet mow down the Diamondbacks en route to a 9-5 victory at Petco Park.
The big right-hander did not allow a hit until Kole Calhoun led off the seventh inning by sending a slider over the wall in left field.
