Tatis Jr. led off the bottom of the third inning with a solo home run to center field that cut the lead to 2-1. San Diego was not able to get any additional runs in the frame, but the home run from Tatis Jr. provided a much needed sign of life for the Padres offense.
San Diego was able to tie the game at 2-2 in the bottom of the fourth inning on a Jake Cronenworth RBI-groundout. Jackson Merrill walked to start the inning and he advanced to third on a Jose Iglesias single. Cronenworth followed with a groundout to first base, which allowed Merrill to score and pushed Iglesias to second where he stayed until the inning ended.
The Padres jumped ahead of the Diamondbacks in the bottom of the fifth inning when Machado launched a solo home run deep into the left field stands to lead off the inning, putting San Diego up, 3-2.
The Padres added a second run in the inning when Gavin Sheets hit a single to right. He came in to score to give San Diego a 4-2 lead when Bogaerts hit a double to left field. Bogaerts would eventually reach third base, but was unable to score.

Arizona did not go away quietly. The Diamondbacks added a run in the top of the seventh inning and threatened for more, but Jason Adam was able to work out of trouble, keeping the Padres in front, 4-3.
San Diego was poised to respond to the Arizona run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Sheets walked and moved to second on a Bogaerts sacrifice bunt. Merrill walked and Iglesias singled to load the bases with one out. Cronenworth struck out for the second out of the inning and Trenton Brooks was called on to pinch-hit for Martin Maldonado. Brooks grounded into a fielder's choice with a ground ball to short, keeping the Padres from adding to their lead.
Jeremiah Estrada bailed out Elias Diaz in the top of the eighth. With two outs and a man on for Arizona, the runner at first, Blaze Alexander, stole second base. Diaz threw down to second and the ball sailed beyond the reach of Bogaerts and into center field. Alexander moved to third on the error. Corbin Carroll took the next pitch at the top of the zone on a 2-2 pitch and struck out looking, leaving Alexander at third.
San Diego's All-Star closer Robert Suarez came on for the save in the top of the ninth inning. He earned his MLB leading 27th save with a clean inning, facing just three hitters to seal the win for the Padres.

Golden State Warriors remain short-handed after three weeks of NBA free agency
The Golden State Warriors only have nine players under contract heading into the 2025-26 NBA season. There's been no movement from the franchise during the opening three weeks of NBA free agency. Rumors linking the Warriors to Al Horford and a return for De'Anthony Melton are yet to materialize. Furthermore, Golden State's negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga appear to have reached a stalemate. As such, the Warriors are in a difficult spot as we approach the dead point in the summer. Mike Dunleavy Jr. and Joe Lacob will both understand the need to get the ball rolling on some potential additions to the roster. After all, Steve Kerr will want a full team ready for when tranining camp and preseason begins later this year. In a recent episode of ESPN's NBA Today, cap expert Bobby Marks explained the uphill battle the Warriors currently face, and why it's important for the franchise to start gaining traction on some roster additions in the coming weeks.
