- At Salt River Fields At Scottsdale Stadium

At the plate: At Salt River Fields, the Diamondbac­ks’ offense was held to six hits, all singles, though they also walked seven times. 1B Christian Walker had two hits and 2B Ketel Marte drew a pair of walks. At Scottsdale Stadium, 3B Deyvison De Los Santos hit a tie-breaking, two-run home run in the eighth inning to put the Diamondbac­ks ahead for good. De Los Santos ranks among the organizati­on’s Top 10 prospects, according to most publicatio­ns. CF Corbin Carroll had a hit and a walk and LF Dominic Canzone had a pair of doubles.

On the mound: After RHP Brandon Pfaadt fired three scoreless innings, giving him five scoreless innings in two starts, a pair of lefty relievers struggled. First, LHP Andrew Chafin issued three walks and allowed two hits in two-thirds of an inning, giving up three runs in the fifth. LHP Kyle Nelson allowed two in the eighth, the damage coming in the form of a two-run homer off the bat of Padres C Luis Campusano. At Scottsdale, RHP Slade Cecconi gave up one run in two innings, striking out two. LHP Blake Walston gave up one run in 1 2/3 innings. RHP Bryce Jarvis allowed a run on three hits in two innings, with no walks and one strikeout.

Extra bases: Marte stole an out in the first inning at Salt River, deking Padres SS Tim Lopes into thinking a throw had gone into center field. Lopes came off the bag for a split second, giving Marte time to tag him out. CF Alek Thomas fired a one-hop strike to home in the seventh inning to cut down DH Rangel Ravelo trying to score.

Sunday’s game: Diamondbac­ks LHP Madison Bumgarner vs. Guardians RHP Triston McKenzie, 1:05 p.m.
