Padres End Five-Game Losing Streak with 10-8 Win over Rockies at Coors Field

The San Diego Padres ended a five-game losing streak with a 10-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies, narrowing their deficit to just one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Fernando Tatís Jr. was a standout performer, hitting a three-run homer and reaching 700 career hits, while Freddy Fermin contributed three RBIs and Luis Arraez had a three-hit game. The Padres showcased a powerful offense with 16 hits, including multiple home runs by Tatís, Ramón Laureano, Jackson Merrill, and Gavin Sheets. Colorado's pitching struggles were evident, as starter McCade Brown was pulled early and the bullpen faltered, allowing multiple big innings including a four-run fifth for San Diego. Despite a late rally featuring a franchise-record 29th homer by catcher Hunter Goodman and a three-run shot by Jordan Beck, the Rockies fell to 40-102, near their franchise record for losses. Padres starter Randy Vásquez pitched six effective innings, supported by Robert Suarez's 36th save, helping San Diego stay firmly in the NL West playoff hunt.
