Rockies Stun Padres as Rookie Blaine Crim’s First MLB Hit Is a Three-Run Homer

The setback left San Diego 2.5 games behind the Dodgers with a four-game cushion for the NL’s second wild card.

Overview

  • Crim’s 439-foot blast in the fourth, followed on the next pitch by Kyle Farmer’s homer, flipped a 1-0 deficit created by Manny Machado’s first-inning shot.
  • Tanner Gordon worked into the seventh, retiring 16 straight and striking out nine while allowing two hits and one walk.
  • JP Sears struck out eight but yielded four runs in 4 1/3 innings, including the back-to-back homers that decided the game.
  • Colorado snapped a six-game skid and ended a 39 2/3-inning scoreless stretch at Petco Park.
  • Victor Vodnik secured his eighth save after the Padres pulled a ninth-inning run on a Ramon Laureano infield out.
