This game took place in pitcher-friendly Petco Park, but you wouldn’t know it by the Rockies’ bats. They launched four homers en route to an easy victory, as they beat the Padres 9-2 on Friday.
Rockies feel at home(r) on the road
If there’s one thing the 2021 Rockies have struggled with, it’s scoring runs away from Coors. Not so on Friday, as they exploded early and often by launching four home runs in the first five innings against San Diego. The game started strangely - with two outs, C.J. Cron walked and then Charlie Blackmon doubled to score the Rockies’ first run of the game.
