Padres pile on Rockies
(Denis Poroy/Getty Images) Fernando Tatis Jr. is congratulated by Padres third base coach Glenn Hoffman after hitting home run to lead off the bottom of the first inning Thursday night.It was not entirely Coors Field-esque, but it was as if a little bit of the mile high madness made it down to sea level in the Rockies’ luggage.
Padres starting pitcher Eric Lauer allowed 10 hits before leaving with no outs in the fifth inning. Fernando Tatis Jr. homered on the second pitch he saw. The Padres scored three times in the first two innings and added five unearned runs in the third.
