Padres, Matt Waldron turn in strong starts to beat Rockies

Four-run first inning propels Padres, who get six innings from Waldron; Robert Suarez moves into tie for MLB lead with his ninth save

A fantastic start and surviving a midgame letdown was enough. For the Padres and for Matt Waldron. The Padres scored four runs in the first inning and one more after four innings of silence en route to a sharply played and somewhat sleepy 5-2 victory over the Rockies on Wednesday night at Coors Field. Waldron allowed one run on four hits over six innings for his first victory of the season. Wednesday was, in fact, the first time the Padres won in his five starts.

After Waldron retired Charlie Blackmon on a pop-up near the mound to start the inning, the Rockies got their first base runners of the game, as Waldron fell behind and lost seven-pitch battles with Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan McMahon, walking both. Elias Díaz followed with the Rockies’ first hit, which loaded the bases. On the grounder to the hole at shortstop, Kim made a diving stop to keep the ball in the infield.
