 gave up a run on six hits, including three singles by Yangervis Solarte, with no walks and left with a 6-1 lead. Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth for his sixth save in six tries. Jhoulys Chacin (1-0), the winner in a 1-0 Padres victory over Greinke and Arizona last Thursday, gave up seven runs and eight hits over six innings. Wil Myers and Austin Hedges homered for San Diego to make it a one-run game. Myers hit a three-run homer in San Diego's four-run seventh against Silvino Bracho, who was just called up from Triple-A Reno, to cut the Arizona lead to 7-5. Hedges' sixth home run in his last eight games, against Jorge De La Rosa leading off the eighth, made it 7-6. Chacin retired the first two batters in the fifth inning before Greinke singled. A. J. Pollock walked and Peralta singled to load the bases. Owings, batting third with Paul Goldschmidt getting the night off, sent the first pitch onto the overhang above the 413-foot sign in left-center to make it 6-0. Greinke pitched five scoreless innings before giving one up in the sixth, when Solarte came home on Austin Hedges' sacrifice fly. Bracho retired only one batter before Myers lined one well over the bullpen down the left field line. Myers' fifth home run of the season cut Arizona's lead to 7-5. Peralta gave Greinke a quick 1-0 lead, his solo shot on the first pitch just clearing the wall in left field in the first inning. Attendance was announced at 14,758. The smallest home crowd in franchise history was 14,110. PERALTA'S RUNPeralta is on a roll. In his last eight games, he's batting .548 (17 for 31) with four doubles, a triple, a home run, three RBIs and seven runs. He has raised his average to .329. TRAINER'S ROOMPadres: San Diego placed OF Travis Jankowski on the 10-day DL with a bruised bone in his right foot. Jankowski was hurt when he fouled a ball off the foot in Atlanta on April 14 and his attempt to play through the injury was unsuccessful. Manager Andy Green said Jankowski would be in a walking boot for a few days and there was no timetable for his return. OF Jabari Blash was recalled from Triple-A El Paso and was in the lineup Monday night. Diamondbacks: RHP Shelby Miller, placed on the 10-day DL with right elbow inflammation, will go to Los Angeles for a second opinion from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, team physician for the Dodgers and Rams. Manager Torey Lovullo said he'd talk more about the specifics of the injury after the second exam. No decision has been made on who will replace Miller in the rotation. UP NEXTLefties Clayton Richard (2-2, 3.04 ERA) of the Padres and Patrick Corbin (1-3, 3.27) of the Diamondbacks meet in a rematch of a game in San Diego last Thursday. Richard scattered nine hits over 6 2-3 innings in the Padres' 4-1 win.)
Time: 9:40 PM EDT Venue: Chase Field, Phoenix, Ariz., 85004 PHOENIX -- Do you like pitching?Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zack Greinke and Padres righty Jhoulys Chacin hooked up in a dandy when they met at Petco Park on Wednesday, a 1-0 San Diego victory in which the winning pitcher gave up only three singles and the losing pitcher threw a complete game. The reprise is Monday at Chase Field, where baserunners are a little more commonplace. Greinke and Chacin will meet in the opener of a four-game series that matches two teams going in slightly different directions, at least for the time being, despite the fact that the Padres took two of three from Arizona in the series last week. The Diamondbacks (12-8) have won five of their past eight games while tying a franchise record with an 8-2 start at home. They lead the majors with 105 runs scored despite being shut down by the Los Angeles Dodgers' Brandon McCarthy in a 6-2 loss Sunday, when Paul Goldschmidt's two-run homer in the first inning was their only offense. In terms of offense at home, Arizona leads the majors in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. San Diego (8-12) has lost six of nine after falling 7-3 to the Miami Marlins on Sunday. However, the Padres have saved their best for the NL West leaders. Their series victories this season have come against the Colorado Rockies and Arizona." We have the type of guys who are able to link at-bats together," said Arizona third baseman Jake Lamb, who has reached base in 19 consecutive games after singling in the first inning Sunday." We are not selfish up there. We're not trying to pad our stats. If it's not me, it's the next guy. If it's not him, it's the guy after that. I think everyone knew, including the league, how good our offense... was last year minus injuries, and is going to be this year. We saw what happened with the pitching last year. Guys are hopefully going to have bounce-back years, and so far they are doing great." Arizona received some sobering pitching news Sunday, when right-hander Shelby Miller was removed from the game due to right forearm tightness after facing three batters in the fifth inning. Miller, who beat San Diego while giving up one run in 7 1/3 innings last Tuesday, gave up two walks and a double in the fifth before being replaced Sunday. Two of the starters who caused the D-backs so much trouble last week will pitch in the first two games of this series Monday and Tuesday. Chacin, 2-2 with a 4.70 ERA, will be followed by left-hander Clayton Richard, who limited Arizona to one run in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-2 victory last Thursday. Chacin has recovered nicely from the season opener, when he gave up nine runs in 3 1/3 innings to the Dodgers. He has posted a 1.37 ERA in three starts since then, and he gave up three hits in 6 2/3 innings of a 2-1 victory over San Francisco in his second start." I threw all my pitches," Chacin said after his first meeting against Greinke. "That's why I was able to go so deep in the game." Chacin, who spent the majority of his career in Colorado before joining Arizona briefly in 2015, is 6-2 with a 2.74 ERA in 15 appearances, including 14 starts, against the Diamondbacks. He is 2-3 with a 2.83 ERA at Chase Field. Greinke took the loss in a complete game last week when he gave up a homer to personal nemesis Erick Aybar in the eighth inning. Aybar is 12-for-33 (.364) with five doubles and three RBIs against Greinke. Only four players with 30 at-bats or more have a higher batting average against the three-time All-Star. Greinke is 1-3 with a 3.28 ERA this season in four starts, having given up two runs or fewer in three of his four appearances. He is 8-2 with a 1.96 ERA in 17 career starts against the Padres.
