SAN DIEGO — "Small ball" is not the Rockies' forte, but they used it well Wednesday in their 2-0 victory over the San Diego Padres, and manager Walt Weiss hopes he can count on it when needed in the future.
The Rockies scored their two runs on balls that never left the infield. Cristhian Adames hit an RBI groundout in the fifth, and DJ LeMahieu put down a perfect safety squeeze in the ninth.
"Today, I wanted to create a lot of action, so we played hit-and-run a bunch to try to manufacture runs," Weiss said.
