Could it be....a winning streak? Yes, but it wasn’t easy. The Rockies defeated the NL West-leading Padres 5-2 on Monday night, thanks in large part to Ian Desmond. His two-run double in the second inning represented the earliest runs the Rockies have scored in 2019 and he added his first home run of the season—but his sixth at Petco Park, tied for fourth most in Rockies history—in the fifth inning. With the win, the Rockies have their second winning streak of the season.
The Rockies led 5-1 heading into the bottom of the ninth with Scott Oberg on to finish the game.
