Tough Extra-Inning Battle Against the Padres
Hey Diamondbacks faithful!
Despite our best efforts, the game against the San Diego Padres turned into a marathon that saw our beloved D-backs going down 10-5 in 11 innings. Let's dive into the action-packed day we had at Chase Field.Lively Start for the Diamondbacks
We kicked things off with a bang in the first inning with Geraldo Perdomo drawing a walk, followed by a smashing home run by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. that soared over 400 feet to give us an early 2-0 lead.
The Padres responded with a home run of their own from Xander Bogaerts in the second inning, leveling the score 2-2. But our boys kept swinging, and by the fourth inning, we regained a short-lived lead when Perdomo capitalized on a wild pitch, making the score 3-2.A Grueling Fight Through Extra Innings
Unfortunately, the sixth inning saw the Padres claw their way back to tie the game due to some timely walks, and the seventh brought a hurdle when Ramon Laureano punched a double that brought two runs. But we didn't back down! In the bottom of the eighth inning, Gurriel Jr. nailed it yet again with a stunning homer that tied the game at 5-5!
Heartbreak in the 11th
Both teams held fast through the 10th inning, each unwilling to give an inch. It wasn’t until the 11th that the Padres broke through, with a combination of singles and a sac fly to score five runs.
Our hopes remained high as Pavin Barrosa and Blaze Alexander looked to ignite a final rally, but unfortunately, we couldn't push any more runs across the plate.Though it wasn't our day, the relentless spirit of our Diamondbacks shone through. We'll bounce back and come out swinging even fiercer next time. Let’s keep the faith and stand by our team through this marathon of a season. Go D-backs!
