The game started with a bang as Corbin Carroll homered to right center (397 feet) in the top of the 1st inning, giving us an early lead. Although the Padres tied it up in the bottom of the 1st with a homer by Profar, the Diamondbacks never looked back.Pitching and Defense Hold Strong 
Our pitching staff was on point. After Ryan Nelson held the Padres to just one run, Mantiply, Martinez, and Jarvis came in and shut the door, allowing no runs in their respective innings. The defense also played a stellar game, turning a couple of key double plays to keep the Padres in check.Big 7th Inning Breakthrough 
The 7th inning was the turning point! With two outs and Geraldo Perdomo on base, Eugenio Suárez smashed a homer to left (350 feet), scoring Perdomo and himself to make it 3-1. That was just the boost we needed!Insurance Runs in the 9th 
We weren't done yet! In the top of the 9th inning, the D-backs added six more runs to seal the deal. Key hits included a 3-run double by Eugenio Suárez and a ground rule double by Alek Thomas. By the time the inning was over, the score was a resounding 9-1 in favor of the Diamondbacks.Closing It Out 
In the bottom of the 9th, Jarvis came in to close it out. After retiring Wade and Johnson, the Padres' last flicker of hope, Cronenworth, managed an infield single. But Manny Machado flied out to right to end the game.Final Thoughts
