You want to finish strong and send yourself into the offseason on a good note, Bradley said. It feels great. I got the last out and I turned around and it said 95 on the board. So for me it was like `All right, its October 1st and Im still able to rear back and go get it. Knock on wood thats a good sign for this offseason.Yasmany Tomas hit a three-run homer as part of Arizonas five-run first inning, and the Diamondbacks stole six bases, including a franchise record-tying four in the first inning. Paul Goldschmidt had a career high three stealsBradley got a bit of a scare on a standout defensive play to end the top of the fifth. He flagged down a ball hit off his glove, picked it up and threw out Yangervis Solarte while falling toward third base.That was really close to my face again, Bradley said. I was like All right, Im going to pick up this ball and it may go into the third deck, but Im going to see what I can do here, and it worked out.Manager Chip Hale admitted being concerned, but said it was a positive that Bradley got through a whole season after the 2015 injury.Pitching the whole year, staying injury free was huge.

Mitch Haniger homered in the eighth, and Jean Segura wass 2 for 3 and scored three runs.ddddddddddddIf theres opportunity, just try to take it, Goldschmidt said. It makes it a lot easier on the offense.

Pollocks record of 92 in 2015.Carlos Asuaje, Wil Myers, Derek Norris, Hunter Renfroe and Solarte each drove in a run for San Diego. Renfroe just missed his fourth home run of the week when he doubled off the top of the right-field fence in the eighth off the Diamondbacks Zack Godley.The Padres scored three runs in the inning.The first inning as a team, we were playing under water, it felt like, Richard said.
