Arráez's go-ahead single sparks 5-run 11th inning, Padres beat Diamondbacks 10-5
PHOENIX -- — Luis Arráez had the go-ahead single in the 11th inning, Ramón Laureano added three hits and three RBI, and the San Diego Padres beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-5 on Tuesday night.
Arráez was hitless in five at-bats before hitting a bloop single into short left field, which was enough to score Fernando Tatis Jr. from second base for a 6-5 lead. The Padres would tack on four more runs in the 11th.
San Diego has won eight of its past 10 games. Arizona had a three-game winning streak snapped.
Arizona's Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit two homers, including one on a 103.9 mph fastball from Mason Miller that made it 5-all in the eighth. It was the hardest hit pitch for a homer since MLB began pitch tracking in 2008.
Laureano — who was added from the Baltimore Orioles at last week's trade deadline — had a two-run double in the seventh that gave the Padres a 5-3 lead. The 31-year-old is 8 for 22 at the plate over five games with his new team.
D-backs starter Ryne Nelson gave up two runs over 5 2/3 innings, striking out eight.
The right-hander left the game with a 3-2 lead and nobody on base in the sixth, but the D-backs bullpen walked four straight batters — three by Kyle Nelson and one by Andrew Hoffmann — to force in the tying run.
Gurriel hit a two-run homer in the first to give the D-backs a 2-0 lead. It was his 13th homer of the season and first in more than a month.
San Diego third baseman Jose Iglesias made a great defensive play to end the 10th inning, fielding a ground ball, stepping on third and throwing to first for the double play.
The Padres had six hits in the 11th inning.
The Padres send LHP Nestor Cortes (1-1, 9.00 ERA) to the mound to face D-backs RHP Anthony DeSclafani (1-2, 4.91) on Wednesday.
