Cole Carrigg had an impressive performance, hitting two home runs and going 4-for-5, while Troy Johnston contributed three hits and two RBIs, leading the Colorado Rockies to a 9-3 victory over the San Diego Padres. This win ended the Rockies’ eight-game losing streak. Carrigg, a 24-year-old rookie, achieved his first career multi-homer game and was just a triple short of hitting for the cycle. His three-run homer in the sixth inning was crucial in securing the win. The Padres, who had been on an eight-game winning streak, are still 2 1/2 games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final National League wild card spot. Ryan Feltner pitched effectively in relief, allowing no runs over five innings. The Rockies, struggling with a 56-95 record, need to win seven of their last 11 games to avoid a fourth consecutive 100-loss season.
