Padres look to earn split of four-game set with D-backs

PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks are planning to install an offense-tamping humidor at Chase Field later this season, expected to be operational in June.

San Diego Padres third baseman Ryan Schimpf might not approve.

He certainly was not consulted.

Schimpf, who made his major league debut June 14 last year, has five of his 24 career homers at Chase Field.

The latest, a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth inning Wednesday, pulled the rug out from under the Diamondbacks and enabled the Padres to break a three-game losing streak in an 8-5 victory.
