The San Diego Padres (62-51) face the Arizona Diamondbacks (54-59) in Game 2 of the series in Phoenix. The Dbacks came out with offensive prowess and routed the Padres 6-2 in Game 1.
Taking the mound tonight, we have the Padres right-handed pitcher, Yu Darvish (6.46 ERA), opposite the Diamondbacks right-handed pitcher, Ryne Nelson (3.20 ERA). Don't count the Padres out — Darvish missed virtually all of the first half of the 2025 MLB season due to injury, and his ERA is simply volatile due to a few outings. He has what it takes to match Nelson at the mound.
The Padres will most likely take Game 2, bouncing back from the upset of Game 1.

Who’s winning the August 2025 Padres vs. Diamondbacks series?
The San Diego Padres are taking this series against the Diamondbacks in Arizona. The Padres are as hot as the temperatures in Phoenix, going 7-3 in their last ten games, which included sweeping the electric New York Mets. The Dbacks are practically the reverse — 4-6 in their last 10 and struggling to get over .500 — Game 1 was merely a fluke.
