Rockies Rally Past Padres as Tatis Makes History in Defeat
In a game that featured a historic performance from Fernando Tatis Jr., the Colorado Rockies managed to overcome an early deficit to defeat the San Diego Padres 6-4 on Tuesday night. Tatis became the first major leaguer this season to record five singles in a game, and the first Padres player to achieve the feat since Adrián González in August 2006. Despite his efforts, San Diego’s struggling pitching staff continued to falter, having allowed 27 runs over their last three games.
The Rockies’ comeback was fueled by a two-run seventh inning. Ezequiel Tovar and Mickey Moniak each delivered RBI doubles to give Colorado a 6-4 lead. The Padres had jumped out to an early advantage, but the Rockies’ bullpen held them scoreless over the final three innings to secure the win. The under hit for the fifth time in the last ten Padres home games, as the total runs fell below the 7.5 line.
With the victory, the Rockies improved to 4-5 in their last nine games, while the Padres dropped to 5-5 in their last ten. San Diego’s pitching woes have been a major concern, as they have allowed an average of nine runs per game during their recent skid. The Padres will look to rebound in the series finale, while the Rockies aim for a series win.
