Rough Start for Our D-backs
Despite the anticipation for a gripping game, the Diamondbacks couldn’t muster momentum against the Padres. The game kicked off with Geraldo Perdomo striking out, while Gabriel Moreno managed to briefly raise our hopes with a single to center. However, we quickly found ourselves trailing as the Padres opened with a bang. Fernando Tatis Jr.'s homer set the tone, followed by Xander Bogaerts’ two-run shot pushing us 0-3 behind by the end of the 1st inning.
Struggles at the Plate
The 2nd and 3rd innings proved challenging for our batters. We struggled to make contact, even though Moreno showed consistency by securing a walk and reaching base again. However, our brief surges weren't capitalized on, as evidenced by Aleck Thomas grounding out, which stifled any chance to cut the deficit. The Padres, however, added two more runs with Elias Diaz's homer in the 2nd inning, making it 5-0.
Some Respite but Not Enough
Finally, life sparked in the 5th when Perdomo smashed a 406-foot homer, lighting up the board for us with a solo run. It was a brave effort as he tried to kickstart a comeback. However, the team was unable to build on this spark. Throughout the remaining innings, despite Moreno's persistence and another single, our bats remained largely silent. The Padres’ bullpen held strong, and sadly, our efforts fell short.
Despite the 1-5 loss, let's regroup and get behind our Diamondbacks for the next game! Go, D-backs!
