Diamondbacks start fast, finish with 9-5 victory
PHOENIX -- Yasmany Tomas homered, Jean Segura had two hits and Archie Bradley had a career-high 11 strikeouts in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 9-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night at Chase Field.
Tomas hit a three-run homer, his 31st home run of the season, to cap a five-run first inning.
Segura doubled, tripled and scored three runs. He leads the National League with a career-high 203 hits.
Bradley (8-9) gave up seven hits and two runs in seven innings. He struck out 11 and did not walk a batter in the most efficient start of his two-year career.
Wil Myers, Yangervis Solarte and Hunter Renfroe had two hits and drove in a run for the Padres, who are tied with Arizona (both are 68-93) for fourth place in the National League West with the final game of the season on Sunday.
Paul Goldschmidt walked twice and stole three bases, including third base twice. He has 32 stolen bases, fourth among first baseman in major league history. Only Rod Carew (48), Greg Jeffereies (46) and Gerald Perry (40) have more.
Rookie Mitch Haniger hit his fourth in the eighth inning after the Padres scored three in the top of the eighth on RBI hits by Myers, Renfroe and Derek Norris.
Jon Jay had a double and a triple for San Diego.
NOTES: San Diego C/OF Christian Bethancourt threw a bullpen session before the game and the Padres are looking at the possibility of using Bethancourt on both sides of the ball. "We're flirting with the idea of this guy being a very intriguing 25th man who can catch, can play the outfield and can pitch," Green said. "We'll run as far down that road as his arm allows us to." Bethancourt threw 96 mph in a relief appearance in Seattle on May 31. ... Arizona C Welington Castillo (general soreness) was held out of the starting lineup but is expected to start Sunday, manager Chip Hale said. ... Rod Barajas, manager at Triple-A El Paso, is spending the final two weeks of the season with San Diego. El Paso won the Pacific League championship in Barajas' first season. ... Arizona RF Yasmany Tomas (shoulder) returned to the lineup after missing two games. ... Arizona 2B Jean Segura (201 hits) and left-hander Robbie Ray (218 strikeouts) are the first 200/200 NL pair of teammates since RF Ryan Braun (203 hits) and RHP Yovani Gallardo (204 strikeouts) in 2009 with Milwaukee.
