PHOENIX (AP) — Archie Bradley liked his strong finish to the season.
The Diamondbacks right-hander struck out a career high 11, tying the club's rookie franchise record for a single game in Arizona's 9-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
Bradley, whose 2015 season was limited after he took a line drive off his face in April, held the Padres to two runs on seven hits and will finish 8-9 while going 4-1 over his last seven starts.
"It was kind of what you draw up to finish the season. You want to finish strong and send yourself into the offseason on a good note," Bradley said.
