Despite being held scoreless for most of the game, the Friars managed to break through in this pivotal inning.

First Inning

The opening inning set a tone of defensive prowess as both teams struggled to get on base. The Padres' pitching staff was particularly effective, with starter Nick Pivetta showcasing his skills by keeping the D-Backs hitless and maintaining an impressive strikeout rate.

Fourth Inning

By the fourth inning, both teams had yet to score. The Snakes managed their first hit of the game but were unable to convert it into runs due to strong fielding from San Diego's defense. Xander Bogaerts contributed significantly in this period with solid fielding plays that kept Arizona off balance.

Seventh Inning

The turning point came in the seventh inning when Luis Arraez stepped up for Slam Diego and delivered a crucial home run that brought in what would be the only run of the game. This moment proved decisive as it gave San Diego an edge they maintained until the end.
