Diamondbacks win against Padres, miss trade for Mets pitcher

On August 3, 2026, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the San Diego Padres 5-1 at Chase Field, marking their fifth win in six games. Tim Tawa hit a three-run homer, while Brandon Pfaadt allowed just one unearned run in 6 2/3 innings. The victory improves the Diamondbacks' record to 60-53, putting them in a tie with the Philadelphia Phillies for the second National League wild-card spot. However, a potential trade with the New York Mets for pitcher Clay Holmes fell through due to concerns over a prospect's medical records, leaving Arizona to seek roster reinforcement from returning injured players, including Corbin Burnes, who may return in early September.
