For the second straight night, both lineups were hitting hard and scoring high. However, Colorado came up on top again Saturday night, by a score of 11-10.

Eric Lauer made his 27th start of the 2019 season, and 4th in his career at Coors Field. Lauer has struggled mightily in the mile-high city, holding a 0-4 record and a 18.82 ERA, with just 8 strikeouts, including two on Saturday night.

The Padres’ bats started out hot with a pair of walks and a 2-run double off the bat of Wil Myers for a 2-run lead in the first.

With a 11-5 Colorado lead In the eighth inning, San Diego made Rockies pitchers work, as they put a five on the board, making it a one-run game. Josh Naylor and Luis Urias led things off with back-to-back doubles. A pair of walks set up Margot for an RBI fielder’s choice and Manny Machado’s 3-run shot.

Machado became the second Padre to reach the 30-dinger mark in 2019, which ties a franchise record.

David Bednar made his seventh relief appearance of his career, and struck out two Rockies. Bednar has only given up a pair of baserunners (one hit & one walk) in 5⅔ innings.

The Padres will try to avoid the 3-game sweep to the last-place Colorado Rockies. Sunday afternoon, Quantrill will make another start in his rookie season. The former top 100 prospect has fallen in his last 3 starts, giving up 8 earned runs in each game. First pitch at the notorious Coors Field is at 12:10 p.m.
