Padres top Rockies 7-2 for 4-game sweep but Nick Pivetta exits with stiff elbow
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Ty France went 3 for 3 with a home run and scored three
times as the surging San Diego Padres finished a four-game sweep of the
Colorado Rockies with a 7-2 victory Sunday.
Ramn Laureano hit a two-run homer and Jackson Merrill also went deep for the
Padres, who have won five in a row and eight of nine. However, starting pitcher
Nick Pivetta exited with right elbow stiffness in the fourth inning.
Brett Sullivan had a two-run double for the Rockies, held to a pair of hits.
Colorado arrived in San Diego on a four-game winning streak.
Manny Machado's sacrifice fly gave the Padres a 1-0 lead in the first inning
against emergency opener Jimmy Herget (0-1), who got the start for the Rockies
when Kyle Freeland was a late scratch with left shoulder soreness.
