Padres vs Arizona Diamondbacks @ Petco Park
April 1-3, 2019
Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after a couple of days of partying with fellow Padres fans in the Gaslamp. The occasional memory refresher can come in handy. Here’s a friendly reminder of what we may have missed while we were drinking.
This is The Hangover.

The Padres (3-2) scored fewer runs than the Arizona Diamondbacks (2-3), 10-3, in the first of three games at Petco Park. Matt Strahm (0-1) gave up five runs on eight hits and three walk while striking out two in two and two-thirds innings.

Eduardo Escobar singled with the bases loaded in the second inning to drive in Alex Avila. In the third inning, Peralta scored on a Nick Ahmed sacrifice fly and Avila drove in Ketel Marte with a single.
