PHOENIX (AP) — Geraldo Perdomo's bases-loaded triple tied the game and Josh Naylor's infield hit scored Perdomo with the winning run as the Arizona Diamondbacks scored five times in the ninth to shock the San Diego Padres 8-7 on Saturday night.
It was 7-3 going to the ninth. Pavin Smith, Gabriel Moreno and Alek Thomas singled against Padres closer Robert Suárez (1-2), working in a non-save situation.

Ketel Marte beat out an infield hit to score a run and set the stage for Perdomo, who lined one into the right-field corner to score all three runs. Adrian Morejon relieved and Naylor, on the first pitch, hit a grounder to first but Perdomo beat the throw home.
The Padres scored four runs in the seventh to take a 5-3 lead on Fernando Tatis Jr.'s bases-loaded single and Manny Machado's two-run double off Ryan Thompson, who had relieved starter Zac Gallen.
Eugenio Suárez's three-run homer in the fifth off Ryan Bergert put the Diamondbacks ahead 3-1. Suarez's homer, his 20th, tied Corbin Carroll for the team lead.
Gallen was charged with four runs in 6 1/3 innings. He walked four and struck out five.

Bergert, making his third career start, lasted five innings. He gave up three hits and three runs, striking out eight.
Gavin Sheets was 3 for 3 for San Diego, including his 12th homer.
Padres center fielder Jackson Merrill left the game after he was caught stealing to end the seventh inning. Merrill slid head first and was tagged on the helmet by Marte. He eventually walked off under his own power. Brandon Lockridge replaced Merrill in center.
Key moment
Marte just beat the throw to first for the infield hit before Perdomo's tying triple.
Key stat
The Diamondbacks (36-35) are over .500 for the first time since May 23.
Up next
San Diego starts RHP Nick Pivetta (6-2, 3.18) against Arizona RHP Merrill Kelly (6-2, 3.68) in Sunday's series finale.

Advertisement Vegas agrees, pegging Burns, Scott, Spaun and Hovland as the only golfers with better than 10-1 odds going into Sunday's final round.

Want to see Panthers play at home in the Stanley Cup Final? What Game 4 tickets will cost you
Fans celebrate following the Panther's second goal during the first period of Game 3 in the NHL Stanley Cup Final series at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday, June 9, 2025, in Sunrise, Fla. The Florida Panthers' first home game of the Stanley Cup Final was a memorable one. They blew out the Edmonton Oilers 6-1, playing a dominant all-around game in front of a sold-out Amerant Bank Arena crowd of 19,863 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series. If you want to be at the arena to see them continue their path toward a championship repeat, time is running out — and you'll probably need to empty your wallet a little bit. Advertisement Game 4 on Thursday, an 8 p.m. start, is the only guaranteed home game left on the schedule with Florida two wins from winning the Stanley Cup. Game 5 is in Edmonton. Should the Oilers win either of the next two games, the Panthers would host Game 6 on June 17. The cheapest ticket available on the resale market for Game 4 as of Tuesday afternoon is $429 on SeatGeek. That will get you a seat in Section 329, in a corner of the arena on the side of the ice where the Panthers will shoot during the first and third periods. If you want to get closer to the action, most resale tickets in the lower bowl are going for over $1,000 each but there are a few available in the $750-$900 range. Through eight home playoff games, the Panthers have had an average announced attendance of 19,783 per game, which is at 102.8% capacity. The listed capacity crowd at Amerant Bank Arena for hockey games is 19,250.
