Arizona Republic — SAN DIEGO -- So this is what it's like when Paul Goldschmidt doesn't have the offense on his back. For the first time this season, Goldschmidt is in something of a slump.

Arizona Diamondbacks swept by San Diego Padres

Arizona Republic — SAN DIEGO -- The Diamondbacks can look back on this weekend and lament a belt-high sinker from Trevor Cahill, a misplayed ground ball by shortstop Didi Gregorius and an apparent missed call by the home-plate umpire. While all of those moments contributed to the San Diego Padres' three-game sweep at Petco Park, where Sunday's 4-1 loss represented the coup de grace, the fact was the Diamondbacks' razor-thin margin for error was their own creation, a product of an offense that managed just six runs in three games.

Arizona Republic — SAN DIEGO -- Diamondbacks hitters have been making more contact this season than they have in previous years, striking out at a lower clip than at any point in the past five years. Their 18.8 percent strikeout rate is the club's lowest since 2007, and while the team hasn't had too much trouble scoring runs, all those extra balls in play have had at least one drawback: The Diamondbacks have grounded into 67 double plays, the most in the majors.
