Diamondbacks pick up a game on the Giants

The Arizona Diamondbacks closed to within three games of the San Francisco Giants tonight with a 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. Lefty Joe Saunders went the distance to pick up the win and Justin Upton spanked a solo shot over the left field fence to lead Arizona to its 56th win of year. The Giants lost one earlier today as they fell to the Philadelphia Phillies, 7-2.

Congrats to the D'backs on a great start to their road trip.
