The San Diego Padres scored a big win Monday night, but they also sustained a bigger loss in the opener of a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies.
For the visiting Rockies, it was just a tough defeat.
The teams return to Petco Park on Tuesday night for their penultimate meeting of the 2020 season.
The Rockies (20-21) need a win. The Padres (26-17) need Mitch Moreland to step up as their first baseman.
After San Diego's 1-0, walk-off win on Monday night, the Padres learned that starter Eric Hosmer will miss at least two weeks -- and likely more than a month -- with a fractured left index finger.
