Brandon Pfaadt wins 11th as D-backs take down Padres
Corbin Carroll and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had two hits and two RBIs apiece as the Diamondbacks extended their winning streak to three games following a six-game losing streak that precipitated their trade deadline moves.

Jackson Merrill and Jake Cronenworth had two of the Padres' six hits and both RBIs.
The Padres had won seven of eight.

Luis Arraez was 0-for-3 with a walk, ending his career-high 16-game hitting streak. He struck out swinging against Pfaadt in the fifth.
Kyle Backhus pitched two innings for his first career save.
JP Sears (7-10) gave up five runs on 10 hits in five innings in his first start for the Padres after being obtained at the deadline. He struck out four and walked one.
The Diamondbacks scored in each of the first four innings off Sears and led 5-1 after five.
Gurriel followed singles by Ketel Marte and Carroll with an RBI single in the first, and Carroll's sacrifice fly in the second made it 2-0.
Merrill and Machado wired two-out doubles with two outs in the third, the first hits off Pfaadt, to make it 2-1.
Locklear's homer with one out in the third was measured at 393 feet for a 3-1 lead. His previous two homers came in his 16-game look with the Mariners last June.
Carroll and Gurriel drove in runs in the fourth to make it 5-1.

Scott Hanson reveals fate after ESPN's new billion-dollar deal to takeover RedZone sparks fan meltdown
Scott Hanson has confirmed he will be retained as host of NFL RedZone after ESPN's new billion-dollar deal acquired the show and sparked a fan meltdown that the iconic broadcaster may now longer be the property's presenter. Hanson confirmed the news, promising to continue to be the narrator for seven hours of live football every Sunday during the regular season. RedZone shows live highlights from every NFL game as they happen, allowing fans to not channel surf and see all the major plays from the gridiron in one medium. Although changes to the presentation may happen under the ESPN banner, losing Hanson was a step too far for some, with a massive sigh of relief coming from NFL fans. 'It's official. (& for those wondering: yes, I will still be hosting RedZone.) Fired up for a great season! Optimistic about this new partnership! (& I get to call @AdamSchefter 'colleague' for the 2nd time in my career… nice bonus!),' Hanson said on X. Schefter, the NFL's chief news-breaker, replied, 'My honor.' RedZone is moving to ESPN after the sports-programming network acquired the iconic show Still a little up in the air with the move to ESPN is whether RedZone will stay commercial free, which would be a first for the sports programming network. Hanson did not comment on that on his post, drawing the ire of some fans. RedZone was on its own channel for cable packages, allowing the need for no ads. 'If there's commercials I'm taking my talents to StreamEast,' one NFL fan said. 'I can already see you co hosting with Buzz Lightyear one week because Disney owns RedZone now,' a second football fan said. The first edition of RedZone under the NFL banner takes place in a little over a month, with beloved fans of Hanson and the format waiting for any word on if there will be changes after ESPN's monster deal. As part of the deal in acquiring the NFL Network, RedZone, and other properties, the NFL now owns a 10% stake in ESPN.
