Nearly a week after a dominant start in Milwaukee, Padres starter Michael King allowed six runs — four earned — eight hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings at Coors Field.
DENVER — Brendan Rodgers hit a go-ahead grand slam in a five-run fourth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 7-4 on Tuesday night for just their second win in 10 games.
“Bases loaded, 0-2 count. We’re going, ‘Come on, B!’” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “And he got the head on a fastball. Big exhale. The dugout was pumped. That was big, and you hope that these types of moments can give us a jumpstart.”“You know, came up to me and said, ‘That’s one of the biggest swings of the year,'’' Rodgers said."And it kind of felt like it, being down early and then getting guys on base in that inning.
“I got away from my sinker/sweeper and was throwing a lot of four-seamers,” King said. “I was executing early in the count but I felt they were making the mid-at bat adjustment. I should have gone to other pitches to either get them off of it or go back to it and I got burned on it.” Nolan Jones had an RBI single in the second that stopped an 0-for-26 skid. He left after six innings because of back stiffness.
