Arizona scored three more with two outs in the second, on Owings' two-run triple and Goldschmidt's run-scoring single. He said he threw Schimpf a fastball that cost him. "I usually get them on my slider, but locating fastballs, it was nice to do that today".

David Peralta homered and singled twice for the Diamondbacks, whose 9-2 start at home ties the best in club history.

OUR PREDICTION: The Padres are now winless at 0-5 in their last five games in Arizona and are 2-7 in their last nine games overall.

Goldschmidt has multiple RBI's in his last five games, a franchise record. The 27-year-old Godley is 10-5 with a 5.34 ERA in 36 career appearances (15 starts) and 1-1 with a 7.50 ERA against the Padres in five games (two starts) while being torched by Wil Myers (4-for-4).

The Diamondbacks, meanwhile, have won 19 of their last 26 home games and are 5-1 in Godley's last six starts when their opponent allows five runs or more in their previous game. Goldschmidt is the third player since 2014 to do that, joining Adam Lind (2015) and Charlie Blackmon, whose streak ended Wednesday.

Cahill's two-out RBI double in the fourth trimmed the deficit to 4-2.

Goldschmidt got a rare day off Monday and returned with a bang, hitting the first pitch over the left field foul pole into the second deck for a two-out, solo homer.

Arizona's Archie Bradley relieved Godley and struck out five in three innings of long relief. The blown save was Rodney's first in seven chances, though it did take his ERA all of the way up to 11.00.

"Definitely a frustrating ending to a pretty well-pitched night", Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said.

Padres center fielder Manuel Margot made a spectacular defensive play to end the second inning, laying out to snag Yasmany Tomas' liner and rob him of extra bases. Drury finished the inning but came out in a double switch before the sixth. The team announced he has a jammed right knee, and is considered day-to-day.

Diamondbacks: RHP Shelby Miller has right elbow inflammation and plans to consult Dr. James Andrews for a third opinion on his MRI results and a plan going forward. Lovullo said he'd talk more about the specifics of the injury after the second exam.

Padres: RHP Jered Weaver (0-1) makes his fifth start of the season Thursday night at Arizona, fourth on the road.

Padres: RHP Jhoulys Chacin was scheduled to have an X-ray on his left foot after fouling a ball off it against the Diamondbacks on Monday night, though he's not expecting to miss his next turn in the rotation.
