San Diego exploded for 11 runs as four Padres homered helped derail Colorado 11-3. Fernando Tatís Jr. and Manny Machado powered the early offense, with Jackson Merrill even clubbing a solo shot as a pitcher-turned-hitter. The Rockies battled, led by Tyler Freeman’s doubles and Blaine Crim’s burgeoning power, but Colorado’s pitching collapse—blown by Bradley Blalock and later bullpen miscues—undermined any comeback bid. Up next, Márquez vs. Darvish shapes the next chapter.
