The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Padres 11-4, with Pfaadt pitching a gem as the offense produced 11 runs. The win moved Arizona one step closer to a playoff spot; Philadelphia’s 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay left the Phillies one game ahead.
Arizona’s next game against San Diego is scheduled for 5:40 p.m. The Diamondbacks had not named a starter after Corbin Burnes went on the injured list earlier that day; Walker Buehler (9-6, 4.56 ERA) is set to start for the Padres.
The Phillies play tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. on FOX. A Philadelphia loss combined with an Arizona win would give the Diamondbacks control of their own destiny for the final game of the season.
