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.
