PADRES POSTCAST: PADRES GET THE SPLIT! Merrill Does It ALL as Bullpen SHUTS DOWN D'Backs in 5-1 Win

The San Diego Padres are leaving Arizona with a split after a complete 5-1 victory over the Diamondbacks in the finale of their four-game series. San Diego pounded out 12 hits and created scoring opportunities throughout the night despite an outstanding defensive performance from Arizona. Fernando Tatis Jr. helped ignite the offense, Luis Rengifo collected three hits, Ty France had two hits and an RBI, Freddy Fermin extended his hitting streak to 12 consecutive starts behind the plate, and Jackson Merrill delivered at the plate AND in center field. The turning point came in the third inning when the Padres manufactured two runs to turn a 1-0 advantage into a 3-0 lead. Arizona answered with one run — and that would be all it would get. After Walker Buehler battled through four innings of one-run baseball, the Padres bullpen completely took over. Bradgley Rodriguez, Jeremiah Estrada, Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller combined for five scoreless innings, allowing only two hits with ZERO walks and seven strikeouts. Our Player of the Game is Jackson Merrill, who went 2-for-5 with a run and an RBI while also making a huge sliding catch early in the game. Our X-Factor: the Padres bullpen. And despite several spectacular defensive plays, Arizona's offense earns tonight's Who Fudged Up? The season series couldn't be tighter: San Diego and Arizona split two games in Mexico City, split four at Petco Park and now split four in Arizona. Ten games. Five wins each. Three games remain in San Diego.
