    The Arizona Diamondbacks suffered through a heartbreaking loss the night before and learned earlier in the day that they may have lost one of their starting pitchers for the season.

    A letdown would have been easy. In fact, their manager was a little concerned it might happen.

    Instead, the Diamondbacks were loose, wrapping up another home series win behind Taijuan Walker's dominant performance and an early string of home runs.

    Walker matched a career high with 11 strikeouts in eight effective innings, Chris Owings hit a pair of solo homers and the Diamondbacks beat the San Diego Padres 6-2 Thursday night.
