Schimpf, who also tied the game in the eighth with a two-run shot, finished the night with 12 total bases and went 4-for-5.

Weeks promptly lined a one-out double, setting the stage for Jean Segura’s two-run single to put Arizona ahead by two. Schimpf quickly negated that in the bottom of the frame.
Padres starter Jarred Cosart allowed one run on eight hits, while striking out seven. He was sharp for the second consecutive outing, following a pair of shaky starts to begin his tenure with his new club.
