Pfaadt, D-backs stomp over the Padres in 11-4 win

On September 25, 2026, in San Diego, California, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres with a final score of 11-4.

Pitcher Brandon Pfaadt (32) played a crucial role in the win for the Diamondbacks, contributing significantly during the seventh inning.

The box score of the game was examined closely, but no extra innings were required to determine the winner, as the Diamondbacks secured the victory within the standard nine innings.

The GameDay Thread experienced a surge in activity, garnering a total of 379 comments at the time of publishing. The Comment of the Game (COTG) title was awarded to Tim Tawa's dad, JTawa, for his contribution to the game discussion thread.

Looking ahead, the Diamondbacks will face the Friars in the next game, set to begin at 5:40 pm. Walker Buehler, a veteran right-hander with a 9-6 record and a 4.56 ERA, will take the starting position for the Diamondbacks, while Corbin Burnes, who was placed on the injured list earlier in the day, will start for the Padres.

Meanwhile, the Phillies lost a game at home against the Rays earlier on September 25, dropping their lead over the Diamondbacks to a single game. If the Phillies were to lose again tomorrow night, on FOX at 4:15 pm, and if the Diamondbacks were to win, they would gain control over their own destiny for the final game of the season.
