July 31, 2023 (Denver) - The Padres went to Colorado for the last two days of July for three games with the Rockies. Seth Lugo started tonight’s game one against Austin Gomber for Colorado.
After a two-and-a-half- hour rain delay, Jake Cronenworth singled in the fourth to score Juan Soto and the Padres led 1-0 after four.
It went away in the fifth when Elehuris Montero doubled to score two and the Rockies led 2-1 after five.
Ryan McMahon added a solo homer to center in the sixth and the Rockies led 3-1 after six.
Matthew Batten brought the Padres closer with a single in the seventh that scored Cronenworth and it looked lost, but Trent Grisham saved the day with a solo homer in the ninth. Nine innings weren’t enough, so we went to extras tied at three.
But we stopped at 10 when McMahon hit a sac fly to score Brenton Doyle and the Rockies walked off the Padres with a 4-3 win.
UP NEXT
Game two is tomorrow at 5:40 p.m. A pitcher to be named starts against Peter Lambert for Colorado.
