Luke Voit pulverized his 12th home run of the season as the Padres fell to the Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon in San Diego. Voit’s 413-foot blast off of Merrill Kelly finally got the Padres on the board in the seventh inning and would wind up being their only tally in the contest. Voit finished the day 1-for-4 and heads into the All-Star break hitting .220/.308/.413 with 12 homers and 40 RBI.

Mets manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday that Max Scherzer will start the team’s second half opener against the Padres on Friday night. No word yet on how the rest of the rotation will line up out of the break, but Scherzer will get the ball opposite Yu Darvish at Citi Field on Friday. The 37-year-old hurler registered a stellar 2.23 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 90/12 K/BB ratio over 69 innings in 11 starts during the first half.
