Diamondbacks avoid sweep by battering Matt Waldron, Padres

It has been fairly straightforward for the Padres. Sunday afternoon, after four consecutive victories in which the team's starting pitchers were sensational, Matt Waldron was knuckled under. "Yeah, I think from the start, that wasn't where I wanted it to be," Waldron said. Waldron turned in the shortest and altogether ugliest of his 13 career starts, as the Diamondbacks beat the Padres 11-4 to avoid a sweep.
