All good things eventually come to an end. After being the last undefeated team to start the 2023 season, they fell to the Padres 8-4. José Ureña issued four walks, which does not usually lead to victory (although, neither does 17 strikeouts and three errors, but here we are).
Austin Gomber will make his season debut against Seth Lugo. In 2022, Gomber began the year as the fifth starter. He had a great 2021 campaign after The Trade, but fell back to earth in 2022. Through April and May, Gomber posted a 6.54 ERA and was eventually replaced when the Rockies signed José Ureña (that seems ironic right now).
