SAN DIEGO (AP) — Arizona right-hander Ryne Nelson was brilliant in his big league debut, allowing just four hits in seven innings and retiring 17 straight batters at one point to lead the Diamondbacks to a 5-0 victory against the San Diego Padres.

Profar was stranded when Juan Soto flied out weakly to center and slammed his bat down in frustration.
