Jake Cronenworth hits a three-run home run off Zac Gallen to cap a four-run first inning as the San Diego Padres defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-1 on Tuesday night. San Diego’s early scoring sets the tone, and the Padres’ pitching limits Arizona to one run over the rest of the game. The win is only the Padres’ second victory in 11 games. With the result, San Diego pulls back into a tie for second place in the NL West with Arizona. The Diamondbacks enter the game with their previous momentum after winning the series opener the night before, 8-0, when they held the Padres to eight singles while hitting two home runs. In the Tuesday matchup, Arizona is unable to replicate that offensive output, and the game’s margin is largely determined by the first-inning swing created by Cronenworth. Overall, both teams play within the same series context, with San Diego improving after a lopsided loss in the opener.
