Padres Post Rare 1-0 Road Win at Coors Behind Vásquez

A 1-0 finish at hitter-friendly Coors signals how San Diego's staff is driving a 16-7 start.

Overview

  • San Diego won 1-0 in Denver on Tuesday in only the fourth road shutout by that score in Coors Field history, with the previous three coming in 2006 per Stathead.
  • Starter Randy Vásquez threw seven scoreless innings on 84 pitches, allowing three hits with no walks and five strikeouts to lower his ERA to 1.88.
  • Padres pitchers retired 18 straight batters as Jason Adam handled the eighth and Adrian Morejon closed the ninth, with closer Mason Miller resting after back-to-back outings.
  • The lone run came in the sixth when Manny Machado drew a bases-loaded walk after a Jake Cronenworth double, a Fernando Tatis Jr. single, and a Jackson Merrill hit-by-pitch.
  • Colorado’s staff still piled up 15 strikeouts as Chase Dollander fanned six in a row, yet the result pushed San Diego to three straight wins and 11 victories in its past 12 for a 16-7 record.
