By the time San Diego's bats woke up, the game was already decided. Arizona scored six runs in the fourth inning and rolled to a 10-4 win over the Padres at Chase Field, with Mitch Bratt silencing San Diego's lineup for seven innings before a ninth-inning flurry made the final score respectable.

Bratt was the story for six-plus innings. The right-hander worked 7.0 innings, allowing just 1 hit and 0 runs while striking out 9 against 3 walks. It was enough for the win, his first of the season, pushing his record to 1-1 with a 3.90 ERA. He handed a double-digit lead to the bullpen, which covered the final 2.0 innings and allowed 4 runs.
Arizona's decisive move came in the third, when Gabriel Moreno's sacrifice fly to center brought home Corbin Carroll to snap a scoreless tie and put the Diamondbacks in front for good. Tim Tawa followed immediately with a home run to left center. Then came the fourth: Lars Nootbaar's single scored Locklear, Carroll's single drove in Waldschmidt, a bases-clearing continued when Moreno walked with the bases loaded to score Nootbaar, Tawa lifted a sacrifice fly to score Carroll, and Ildemaro Vargas capped it with a two-run double that scored Moreno and Perdomo. Arizona added two more in the eighth when Vargas tripled home Barrosa and Tawa. Vargas finished 2-for-5 with a double, a triple and 4 RBIs, while Tawa went 3-for-4 with a home run and 2 RBIs.
San Diego starter Casey Mize never found his footing, lasting only 3.1 innings and allowing 8 runs, all earned, on 9 hits with 3 walks and a single strikeout, taking the loss to fall to 4-7. The Padres' offense stayed silent until the ninth, when Fernando Tatis Jr. homered to center and Gage Workman's double later in the inning scored Jackson Merrill, Sung-Mun Song and Ty France to make it 10-4. It was too little, too late against the deficit Arizona had built.
The win moved Arizona to 61-54, snapping into a one-game winning streak, while San Diego fell to 59-56 with a one-game losing skid. Carroll, who scored twice and drove in a run, sits at 98 career home runs, three shy of the 100 mark.
