Padres hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night and lost 8-4, coming off a series win against the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants at Petco Park.
The Padres started off slow, down 4-1 in the bottom of the 3rd when Yangervis Solarte came through with an RBI double to plate Wil Myers. That cut the Arizona lead in half, 4-2.
