 Arroyo (2-2) took a no-hitter into the fifth inning and left
after allowing three hits with one walk and six strikeouts. Brad
Ziegler worked a scoreless eighth and Addison Reed retired the
Padres in order in the ninth for his seventh save for Arizona, which
won its second straight following a four-game losing streak.
The Diamondbacks took the lead with two outs in the third when Hill
singled in two runs against Andrew Cashner (2-4), who yielded four
hits over six frames and remained winless in his last three starts.
The Padres were held to three hits and have scored a total of two
runs during their three-game losing streak.
Arroyo, who struck out four batters in the first four innings,
exited after throwing 91 pitches and lowering his ERA from 7.77 to
6.03. The Padres had runners at second and third with two outs in
the fifth, but Jace Peterson grounded out to first to end the
threat.
Hill collected two hits and is 13-for-33 with 10 RBIs over his last
nine games for Arizona, which finished April with the majors’ worst
record at 9-22. The Diamondbacks' Kirk Gibson became the third
manager in team history with 300 wins, joining Bob Melvin (337) and
Bob Brenly (303).
