SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — Michael King pitched six strong innings and Miguel Andujar drove in two runs with three hits, leading the San Diego Padres to a 10-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, at PETCO Park.

The Padres snapped a two-game losing streak and evened their record at 46-46, while the Diamondbacks fell to 45-47. The loss came one night after Arizona shut out San Diego 8-0, and the teams split the first two games of the four-game series.

King allowed four hits and one earned run, striking out four and walking one over six innings. The right-hander improved to 6-7 on the season. He retired the side in order in the second and third innings after a rocky first, and worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the sixth without allowing further damage.

Jose Cabrera took the loss for Arizona, falling to 0-2. The right-hander surrendered four earned runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings, striking out two and walking one. He was lifted after allowing a two-run single to Xander Bogaerts in the fifth that gave San Diego a 4-1 lead.

The Padres broke the game open with a four-run sixth inning. Luis Campusano led off with a solo home run to left-center, his fourth of the season. Miguel Andujar followed with a double to left, and after a groundout, Sung-Mun Song singled to right to score Andujar. Fernando Tatis Jr. singled to left, scoring Song, and Jackson Merrill singled to right to bring home Tatis. The rally gave San Diego an 8-1 advantage.

Arizona scored two runs in the seventh on a two-run home run by Tommy Troy, his fourth of the year. Troy’s blast to left-center scored Lourdes Gurriel Jr., who had singled, and cut the deficit to 8-3. But the Padres answered with two runs in the bottom of the seventh. Jake Cronenworth doubled, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on Andujar’s third double of the game. Jase Bowen then singled to left to score Andujar, making it 10-3.

The Diamondbacks added a run in the eighth on a double by Max Kepler that scored Corbin Carroll.

Arizona outhit San Diego in the early innings but could not sustain rallies. The Diamondbacks took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Gabriel Moreno doubled to right, scoring Ildemaro Vargas, who had walked. But Arizona left two runners on base in the third and fourth innings.

San Diego tied the game in the third. Sung-Mun Song walked, Tatis singled, and a groundout by Merrill scored Song. The Padres took the lead in the fourth when Andujar doubled to left, driving in Campusano, who had walked.

The Diamondbacks threatened again in the sixth, putting two runners on with one out, but King induced a flyout and a groundout to escape.

Arizona grounded into two double plays, one in the fourth and one in the seventh, stalling potential rallies. The Padres turned one double play in the sixth.

Arizona pitchers combined for 12 strikes, 47 balls and 12 balls in play. San Diego pitchers combined for 7 strikes, 38 balls and 7 balls in play.
