With two outs in the fourth inning, the San Diego Padres turned a solid outing from Jon Gray into a nightmare, putting together a triple, double, intentional walk, home run and home run (five batters, four official plate appearances) for a stunning five-run sequence on their way to a 7-6 win in Denver.
How could a game that started with Gray striking out the side in the first and striking out two of the three batters he faced in the third go downhill so quickly? A lack of focus was the answer heard from Colorado manager Bud Black after the game.
