PHOENIX -- Archie Bradley liked his strong finish to the season.The Diamondbacks right-hander struck out a career high 11, tying the clubs rookie franchise record for a single game in Arizonas 9-5 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.Bradley, whose 2015 season was limited after he took a line drive off his face in April, held the Padres to two runs on seven hits and will finish 8-9 while going 4-1 over his last seven starts.It was kind of what you draw up to finish the season. You want to finish strong and send yourself into the offseason on a good note, Bradley said. It feels great. I got the last out and I turned around and it said 95 on the board. So for me it was like `All right, its October 1st and Im still able to rear back and go get it. Knock on wood thats a good sign for this offseason.Yasmany Tomas hit a three-run homer as part of Arizonas five-run first inning, and the Diamondbacks stole six bases, including a franchise record-tying four in the first inning. Paul Goldschmidt had a career high three stealsBradley got a bit of a scare on a standout defensive play to end the top of the fifth. He flagged down a ball hit off his glove, picked it up and threw out Yangervis Solarte while falling toward third base.That was really close to my face again, Bradley said. I was like All right, Im going to pick up this ball and it may go into the third deck, but Im going to see what I can do here, and it worked out.Manager Chip Hale admitted being concerned, but said it was a positive that Bradley got through a whole season after the 2015 injury.Pitching the whole year, staying injury free was huge.

Two runs had already scored in the first -- on a passed ball and a single by Brandon Drury -- when Tomas took Richard deep for his 31st home run.Goldschmidt scored after stealing second and third in the fifth, racing home on a missed catch by Solarte. Mitch Haniger homered in the eighth, and Jean Segura was 2 for 3 and scored three runs.If theres opportunity, just try to take it, Goldschmidt said. It makes it a lot easier on the offense. Not any different than any other game, it just happened to work out tonight.Seguras 93 hits in the second half of the season are the most in club history, breaking A.J. Pollocks record of 92 in 2015.Carlos Asuaje, Wil Myers, Derek Norris, Hunter Renfroe and Solarte each drove in a run for San Diego. Renfroe just missed his fourth home run of the week when he doubled off the top of the right-field fence in the eighth off the Diamondbacks Zack Godley.The Padres scored three runs in the inning.The first inning as a team, we were playing under water, it felt like, Richard said. A little bit slow and sluggish. We left some plays on the field. It wasnt one person, collectively, myself included.PAYING A VISITPadres manager Andy Green visited with players and staff from the teams instructional league at spring training headquarters in nearby Peoria, Arizona, before Saturdayss game.
