Padres vs. D-backs Game Highlights (6/15/25) | MLB Highlights

Conventional win for the Diamondbacks in the opener on Friday. A cardiac win with the walk-off last night. The Diamondbacks, they're winning in a variety of different ways and today they are gonna try and keep it as classy as possible. A good starting pitching up for Merrill Kelly who so far has not allowed a run here in the month of June. He's been incredible. He is rock steady as possible and if you're a D-back fan, these ninth innings are getting crazy one way or the other. Fortunately the last couple have been on the D-back side as they got that big comeback win but Merrill has a chance to get a sweep. It would be just the seventh time in D-back history that they've been able to sweep a week-long homestand. We are ready to go. Game three. Stepping up to the plate for San Diego is Fernando Tatis Jr. Playing and a miss. There's old faithful of Merrill Kelly changeup. And when he's got that pitch work and he is a handful. And now two down. A strikeout of Tatis to ground out of the rise. And now here comes Machado DH-ing this afternoon. Got him! What a start for Merrill Kelly. A one, two, three first. He struck out Tatis. He punched out Machado. Diamondbacks coming up. No score bottom of the first inning. Corbin Carroll will lead off for the Diamondbacks against the veteran right-hander Nick Pavetta. Has not made a start against these guys since he was a Philadelphia Philly. And he goes around and strikes out. Gets him on the fastball at 94. Good start for Pavetta one way. Now the switch hitting can tell Marte batting left-handed. Ground ball and a third. Nice pick by Iglesias. Gets up plenty of time to throw him out. Great play by Jose Iglesias. Two down. Perdomo's had a great series. Three run triple to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth last night. And four for eight in the first two games. Swing and a miss as Perdomo strikes out. Second strikeout of the inning. A one, two, three first for Pavetta. Gavin Sheets will lead off here against Merrill Kelly. See if he can't do something about this scoreless tie. Lined into right field. A base hit. That was on the curveball. And Gavin Sheets picks up where he left off yesterday. Base hit. First hit of the day for San Diego. Starts the second inning. And after the base hit by Sheets a couple of quick outs by Kelly as that brings up the veteran Jose Iglesias. Up the middle. Perdomo has it. Marte steps on the bag. They strand the lead on a single. Merrill Kelly two scoreless against the Padres. So for the second consecutive inning the Padres with a lead off single. Sheets never made it beyond first base in the second. We'll see how it goes here in the third with the number nine hitter Elias Diaz coming up. He fires and Diaz swings and misses. I mean that was just masterful pitching right there by Kelly and he's got strikeout number three. And now a man at first one down with Tatis coming up. And Fernando hits a liner into center field for a base hit. Lutgrich had to wait so he's now just getting to second. Wasn't sure that was going to get through. It does. And Fernando continuing to heat it up offensively. They're now two on for Luis Arraiz. Punches that out to left for Lutgrich. Arraiz 0 for 2. And here comes Machado. A little squip shot to Cattell. Merrill Kelly able to strand two. Three scoreless for Merrill. 18 consecutive shutout innings for Merrill Levainston. Eight up eight down for the Padres right hander. And that'll bring up Jose Herrera. This is grounded down the first baseline. Going to hit the back. Pivet is there. Touches the bag. Nice play. Arraiz was waiting for it behind first base. That would not have gone well. But Pivet a Johnny on the spot. The third consecutive inning now that the Padres have had the leadoff man reach safely against Merrill Kelly. Bogarts lined out to third his first time. 2-0 delivery. And a base hit inside the bag at third down to the left field corner. Gavin Shins is going to run a while. He's headed to third and beyond. Tim Leaper is sending him around. Here comes the throw. They'll be none. Padres take a 1-0 lead. Xander Bogarts on an RBI double. But San Diego on top 1-0. With the way Kelly's been throwing the baseball, you're not going to see too many mistakes. This is a big time mistake. That's a two seamer that actually leaks right down the heart of the plate. Pull side. Says Xander Bogarts. Gavin Sheets has got the play right in front of him. He picks up Tim Leaper. He's giving him the windmill. Gavin will scamper home. Give that man $200 for pass and go. And the Padres are on the board. That ends the stretch of 18 consecutive scoreless innings for Merrill Kelly. Cronenworth getting his second look at Merrill Kelly. In this spot hitting a 250. Driving an 11. With runners in scoring position. High fly ball to deep right field. Corbin Carroll going back. It's headed to the ground zone. 10th pitch of the A.B. is out of the yard. Jake Cronenworth with a two run shot. Puts the Padres on top 3-0. Oh, there's a crowd zone at A.Z. Oh, believe it. Jake was down 0-2. He worked it to 2-2. And Woogie tries to locate the changeup. Speeds up his bat. He went down and got it. Jake knew it. His teammates knew it. Crooked number here in the fourth. Oh, there's something about that changeup. They run around for the Padres. For the fourth straight inning. And four out of five total. As Arise steps in. 0-2 today. There he goes. Right away. And a liner to right field. That's going to get in. And get by Carroll back to the track and the wall. So Fernando just keeps on going. He'll head plateward with the fourth Padres run. It's 4-0 San Diego. Luis Arise drives him in. Arise just gets on top of the heater. May have been a hit and run there. This is a fastball elevated. Would have been a perfect pitch to throw on. Instead it turns into a double and an RBI for Luis Arise. Frederick's second. Nobody out for Machado. Right at the knees. And Manny knew it. Got caught looking at that changeup. And he just surrendered with the balls about halfway to home. Arise looking to third on the play. And now with two down here is Bogarts who had an RBI double his last time up. There's the put away changeup. Merrill Strands Arise. Padres pick up a run. They lead it 4-0. Nevada has been flawless through four. Arizona has not had anybody reach base. Josh Naylor. A. Eugenio Suarez. Lourdes Coriel Jr. 4-5 and 6 coming up. Good take. That curveball misses up. But that's the first Diamondback baserunner. Naylor walks to lead off the fifth. So the D-backs get their first baserunner of the game via a leadoff walk. Now Suarez. Pitting for one more right here. Suarez. Way back. Way back. And it's gone. He has homer now in five of his last eight games. That's number 21. 437 feet. And they cut the lead at half. Talk about not getting cheated. Suarez. I don't think he ever hits a cheap home run. That one. 437 feet to dead center. Some daddy power on Father's Day. Almost 109 off the bat. Padres will come to bat with a 4-2 lead here in Phoenix against the Diamondbacks. Taylor Scott back to work for the Sinks. And Elias Diaz. Fernando Tatis. And Luis Arise coming up. Fair ball inside the bag at first down the right field line. Heading for second is Diaz. Into the corner goes Corbin Carroll to dig it out. Out before Diaz at second base with a double. Here is Fernando Tatis Jr. He's two for three with two singles and a run score. There's a liner towards the gap at left center field. That'll get in for a hit. They're going to wave Diaz. The throw is headed to second base and run scores. Fernando's safe at second. And the Padres take a 5-2 lead. Another knock for Fernando Tatis Jr. His third of this ball game. A hustle double picks up the RBI. Padres get another run. They continue to attack on. One pitch out there for Arise and that brings Machado very quickly to the plate. Tatis takes off for third. The pitch is a ball. The throw to third. Not in time. Stole a base for Fernando. So not just the three hits and a run bat in. You can add a theft to that as well as he steals third. On the ground towards shortstop. Infield was in. They're not coming home though. They go to first for the short out. And Fernando gets in with the Padres' sixth run at 6-2 San Diego. A base hit into right center field. The second hit of the day for the Diamondbacks. And they've got a man on now for Suarez once again. Elevates and Suarez strikes out. Ninth strikeout for Nick Pavetta. Two down. That will bring up Lourdes Scuriel Jr. Fly ball center field. Struck well. Lockridge back at the wall. Makes the catch up against it. Good leaping grab. One of the deepest parts of the yard. Back by the 413 marker. But Brandon Lockridge with a good speed to get back there. Times the leap. Comes down with it. Top number three. Nicely done. That's Brandon Lockridge. Pavetta loves it. Oh yeah. Last chance to add to this four run lead. Elias Diaz. Fernando Tatis Jr. Luis Arise coming up. And first pitch swinging. Diaz hits one in the air. Deep to left field. Scuriel's back to watch. It's going to go. Elias Diaz with his fourth of the year. And the pods add on on the first pitch of the ninth inning at 7-2. Keep the hits coming. Padres get another run. Their twelfth hit of the day. Seventh run. This time a solo shot. It's been all slug for Diaz in this ball game as the Padres lead 7-2. Now a base hit into center field. And a four hit day today for Fernando. He is thinking two. Headed to second. He is safe with a double. Second time that he's aggressively come out of the box in what appeared to be a single off the bat. And he's turned it into two doubles today. Luis Arise. Oh whoa. Whoa. That was a fair ball. And he is out I believe. He swung at that. Yes. So he is retired. One to three. Taking third is Fernando. And here's Manny. To left and a base hit for Manny. From third comes Fernando. And the Padres will take an 8-2 lead. Here's the first hit of the day for Manny Machado. Second RBI. Sean Reynolds into the game now for San Diego. First and foremost strikes. No free passes. And let's see if Sean Reynolds can have a quick one right here and shake hands with his catcher. Fly ball center field. Lockridge will have room. And the Padres win. They were able to grab the last game of the three game series in the desert. Nice victory today. 8-2. That's a very good pitching today from Nick Pavetta. Big offensive day for Fernando Tatis.
