Padres 5, Rockies 3: Back-and-forth game ends with Padres sweep on Roberto Clemente Day

The Rockies were swept by the Padres on Wednesday night during MLB’s celebration of Roberto Clemente Day — the first time they’ve been swept in San Diego since May 2016. The Rockies have lost five out of their last six games against the Padres in 2020, but luckily this was the last regular season series between the two.

More homers, but no slams

The first five runs of the game were scored via the long ball. Trevor Story got things started with a solo shot in the first to give the Rockies the lead, but the Padres answered back with a Mitch Moreland two-run shot in the bottom half.
