SAN DIEGO — It was unconventional, to say the least, but the Rockies will take it.
Colorado didn’t score until the ninth inning, when it finally conjured up some offense to beat the Padres, 3-1, Thursday afternoon at Petco Park.
Colorado took advantage of a bout of wildness from San Diego all-star closer Brad Hand to score three runs in their final at-bat, the key hit an opposite-field, two-out, two-run single by DJ LeMahieu.
Rookie Ryan McMahon waited out a four-pitch, bases-loaded walk from Hand to drive in Trevor Story, who opened the inning with a walk, for a 1-0 lead.
