Padres 2, Rockies 0 in a dreary Petco Park opener highlighted by McCade Brown’s quality start for Colorado, but the offense never showed up, chalking up 14 strikeouts. Freddy Fermin opened San Diego’s scoring with an RBI single, then Luis Arraez added an RBI hit to push the lead to 2-0. Jackson Merrill doubled the lead with a fourth-inning blast as Padres bullpen slammed the door, preserving the two-run victory. Rockies battle Friday with Tanner Gordon toeing the rubber.

Fantasy takeaway: lean Padres for value, especially Arraez and Fermin, who supplied the scoring. Colorado’s bats remain the fade, but Brown’s night hints at a late-season breakout if the lineup can support him. Friday’s matchup features Colorado’s Tanner Gordon versus an uncertain Padres starter, offering potential DFS leverage if San Diego’s hot bats carry over.

The Cubs edged the Rockies 4-3 at Coors Field, extending their series dominance to six straight wins and 12 of 14 overall. Chicago leaned on timely hitting and bullpen steadiness after McCade Brown’s taxing start, while Colorado fought to the end but couldn’t sustain its offense in the late innings.

Key moments: Happ’s RBI double and Kyle Tucker’s early run-scoring hit helped the Cubs grab a lead that held through the finale as Bernabel snapped a 0-for-26 skid with a two-out single. Moniak’s triple and a late sac fly padded Chicago’s cushion; the Rockies stranded 11 and lacked a rally after the sixth.

Fantasy takeaway: chase Cubs hitters who produced multi-hit nights and monitor Brown’s next turn at altitude; Rockies’ spark plugs—Moniak, Fernández, Montes, Freeman, Goodman—remain streaming options in the right matchups.

Mets explode for six homers, setting a franchise mark for runs in a home game with a 19-9 rout of the Marlins. In his major league debut, Jonah Tong works five innings, allowing one earned run while fanning six. The offense jumps out early, with Soto and Nimmo mashing two- and three-run shots, Alonso and Lindor contributing as New York piles it on. A six-run eighth caps the onslaught as Mark Vientos and Torrens join the long-ball parade. The Mets improve to 9-4 in their last 13.

Fifth-inning misplays by Lindor and Alonso briefly open the door for the Marlins, but Tong’s impressive debut and the Mets’ power surge overshadow the hiccup. Marlins' youngsters Jakob Marsee, Liam Hicks, and Javier Sanoja get a late look as New York coasts to the win, continuing a hot stretch for the Mets.
