Padres rookie Cesar Vargas has quickly gone from a quick insurance option into an important part of the Padres 2016 campaign, especially following the news earlier this week that Robbie Erlin would be lost for the season to Tommy John Surgery. He fulfilled his responsibility Wednesday afternoon, throwing six innings and only allowing one run, yet that run was all the Rockies needed to steal one from the Padres 2-0.
The Rockies Tyler Chatwood continued his road dominance, throwing 8 scoreless innings and extending his road scoreless streak to 23 2/3 innings.
