The Arizona Diamondbacks won Game 1 against the San Diego Padres. This is a four-game series between the two teams from the National League West division. The Diamondbacks now lead 1-0 in the series among teams that are second and fourth in the division. Game 2 starts on Friday night.
"Lights out at @ChaseField" - Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks are the host team and fourth in the NL West. They are aiming to replace the San Francisco Giants by winning the series. The home team have an overall (68-75) record and are already out of contention for the playoffs.
Their poor away (29-39) form is the only reason the team is not in the race. All they can do now is finish third and give fans more reason to believe in them.

San Diego comfortably sits second in the division, just behind the L.A. Dodgers. The Padres are 78-61 for the season, raking in positive results both at home and away.
A recent loss to the Diamondbacks should not do much damage to their confidence as they are well aware of their capabilities. They will surely look to bounce back in this four-game series.
"Final" - Padres
Both the Diamondbacks and the Padres have something to play for. While the home team is looking to move up the ranks, the away team will look to solidify their spot. It is an interesting mix of 'survival mode' the teams are involved in.
They even share the same 4-6 record in their last ten games. So, anything seems possible at this time. However, the Padres will be looking to take their revenge in Game 2.
