PHOENIX (AP) — When their ace wasn’t sharp, the Arizona Diamondbacks relied on a lineup that has thrived at home this season.
Jake Lamb and Brandon Drury homered in a five-run third, and the Diamondbacks scored five times in an inning for the second consecutive night to beat the San Diego Padres 7-4 on Wednesday.
Zack Greinke labored through five innings for his eighth win. Arizona came back from a two-run deficit to win its eighth straight home game, improving to 23-8 at Chase Field.
That record ties the club’s best start to a season at home, set in 1999.
