Diamondbacks 2, Padres 1 (12 innings)

SAN DIEGO -- Didi Gregorius' RBI triple in the 12th inning lifted the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park.

The Diamondbacks set a major league record for extra innings in a single season, with their total of 78 surpassing the 76 extra innings played by the 1969 Minnesota Twins. Arizona is 17-7 in extra-innings games this year.

Gregorius lined a Luke Gregerson pitch down the first base line, scoring Chris Owings, who doubled, and snapping a five-game losing streak at Petco by the Diamondbacks. Gregerson (6-8) allowed a run and two hits in one inning.

Josh Collmenter (5-4) pitched a perfect 11th, and Brad Ziegler retired the side in order in the 12th for his 12th save.

Paul Goldschmidt hit his National League-leading 36th home run for the Diamondbacks (80-77).

The Padres (73-84) tied the score with two outs in the eighth when a David Hernandez pitch got through Miguel Montero for a passed ball, allowing pinch runner Reymond Fuentes to score.

Arizona starter Wade Miley struck out seven and walked one in six scoreless innings, throwing 107 pitches (67 strikes). Two of the four hits Miley allowed never reached the outfield. The hardest-hit ball against him was a two-out single in the fifth by pitcher Tyson Ross.

Ross also had a strong outing but got no run support. The right-hander, who set down 10 consecutive batters at one point, gave up a run on three hits and three walks (one intentional) in eight innings. He struck out six and hit a batter. Ross threw 90 pitches (61 strikes).

Goldschmidt drove an 0-2 fastball from Ross over the wall in right for a solo shot with two outs in the sixth, breaking a scoreless tie. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to 14 games.

NOTES: Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson addressed reports that at least one or several Dodgers players urinated in the Chase Field pool during Thursday's celebration after Los Angeles won the National League West title. "I will just say that there's been some discussion about that whole incident and it's been debated," Gibson said. "I think we can all agree that it's inappropriate to (urinate) in somebody's pool. We were taught that from the time when we were very young. Let's leave it at that. It's just inappropriate." ... Padres SS Ronny Cedeno didn't play after being hit in the head by a pitch from Arizona RHP Heath Bell on Monday night. ... San Diego OF Will Venable was not in the starting lineup for the second game in a row after being diagnosed with an abdominal strain Monday. The timetable for his return is unknown. ... Padres RHP Ian Kennedy (6-10, 5.06) will face his former mates for the second time Wednesday since being traded on July 31. Kennedy allowed six runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Diamondbacks on Aug. 27 but didn't factor in the decision. RHP Randall Delgado (5-6, 3.96) will start for the Diamondbacks.
