SAN DIEGO -- Braden Shipley had an effective four-seam fastball against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. If only hed thrown it more.Shipleys offspeed pitches were hit hard and the right-hander allowed seven runs in the Arizona Diamondbacks 9-1 loss to San Diego.I was trying to mix it up, Shipley said. I was trying to do that with my offspeed stuff, but I probably should have been more aggressive with my fastball.San Diegos Luis Perdomo ended a three-start losing streak, Travis Jankowski and Alex Dickerson homered and San Diego gained a four-game split.Shipley (2-3) gave up seven hits over 5 1/3 innings in a matchup of the teams with the worst records in the NL West.Perdomo (6-7) took a shutout into the seventh and allowed an unearned run and five hits in seven innings. Perdomo, a right-hander who had never pitched above Class A before this season, also beat the Diamondbacks at Arizona on July 4.Arizona didnt have a runner in scoring position until the seventh, and Phil Gosselin got there on a throwing error by Perdomo. Brandon Drury, who had two of Arizonas five hits, singled in Gosselin to cut the Diamondbacks deficit to 7-1.Shipley, a rookie right-hander making his first start against the Padres, is learning at the major league level. One lesson absorbed Sunday was to stick with the four-seamer when it is sitting in the mid-90s.He looked like he had outstanding stuff and he seemed to settle in, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. Then he ... started falling behind batters.Jankowski, who has reached in a career-best 20 games, hit his second home run in the second inning for a 2-0 lead. Adam Rosales had an RBI triple in the fifth and scored on a double by Perdomo, the first RBI by the pitcher in 25 career at-bats.That was up-and-in, Shipley said of Jankowskis blast. I think that if I threw that 10 times again, he probably wouldnt do that again.Dickersons leadoff homer in the sixth and Brett Wallaces RBI double made it 6-0 and chased Shipley. Patrick Kivlehan singled in a run against Dominic Leone.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Rubby De La Rosa (right elbow) will resume a throwing program, with the team seeking to build him up to 70 pitches for some September starts.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Godley (4-2) starts Monday in the opener of a four-game series against visiting Atlanta.
