April 10, 2017 (Denver) - The Padres couldn’t get the sweep yesterday, but did manage to win two out of three against the Giants. Now it was off to Denver to face the Rockies, who have had a rockin’ start to the season. Jared Cosart was on the hill for the Padres against Tyler Chatwood for the Rockies.
It took till the third inning, but Wil Myers doubled in the third to score Manuel Margot and the Padres led 1-0.
In the sixth, Myers struck again, this time with a home run to make it 2-0. Hunter Renfroe followed with a two-run homer of his own and the Padres were up 4-0.
But the Rockies didn’t go away. D.J. LeMahieu homered to put Colorado on the board and narrow the gap to three, 4-1.
Yan Solarte got the lead back to four with a sac fly in the eighth to score Myers and make the score 5-1.
In the ninth, the only rallying the Rockies could do was a two-run homer by Mark Reynolds and the Padres took game one of the series 5-3. Myers hit for the cycle with a single, double, triple and home run.
Game two is tomorrow at 5:40 p.m. Jered Weaver starts for San Diego against the rookie Antonio Senzatela for Colorado.
