SAN DIEGO — The Arizona Diamondbacks beat the San Diego Padres 11-4 on Friday night at Petco Park, pulling within one game of the Philadelphia Phillies for the National League’s final wild-card berth, per MLB.com’s final Game Day and playoff picture.
Lars Nootbaar homered on Casey Mize’s first pitch. Nolan Arenado and Jordan Lawlar also went deep, and Geraldo Perdomo drove in four runs. Brandon Pfaadt worked 7 2/3 innings for the win, allowing four runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts.
Philadelphia lost 2-0 to Tampa Bay the same night, so Arizona sits one game back with two to play. The Diamondbacks own the tiebreaker over the Phillies. Any combination of two Phillies wins or Diamondbacks losses locks Philadelphia in.
