Stephen Kolek And The Padres Record Their Biggest Win Of The Season
The Padres recorded their biggest win in terms of scoring runs. Several sluggers hit home runs against the Rockies’ poor defense. Gavin Sheets, Jake Cronenworth, Jayson Heyward, Xander Bogaerts, and Fernando Tatis Jr. went deep.
The Rockies struggled to maintain their control on the mound. It was a tough day in Colorado, and they hope to turn things around soon. The Rockies hold the worst record in the league (6-33). Recently, Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland broke down after the team’s poor performance.
