April 21, 2023 (Phoenix) - The Padres had their first strong game in a long time last night and everyone but Fernando Tatis Jr. did well in his first game back. They looked to take game two tonight with Seth Lugo on the mound against Zac Gallen for Arizona.
Gabriel Moreno beat out a throw to first in the fourth, allowing Christian Walker to score and the Dbacks led 1-0 after four.
Ketel Marte doubled to right center in the fifth to score Josh Rojas and the Dbacks led 2-0 after five.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. added some more insurance in the eighth with a grounded single to left to score Marte. Moreno golfed a two-RBI single to shallow center. Geraldo Perdomo doubled down the line in right to score two. Alek Thomas score and Marte singled to right to score Perdomo and a seven-inning eighth gave the Dbacks a 9-0 win to split the series.
