Diamondbacks split series with Padres amid playoff push

The Arizona Diamondbacks completed a four-game series against the San Diego Padres, resulting in a 2-2 split. The Diamondbacks faced challenges, including inconsistent pitching from Kohl Drake and defensive errors, but also had strong showings from Brandon Pfaadt and Mitch Bratt, the latter earning his first career MLB win. New addition Lars Nootbar made a notable debut, contributing to the team's offensive efforts despite a low batting average. With a record of 15-10 in July, the Diamondbacks aim to maintain momentum while facing the Los Angeles Dodgers next weekend.
