Padres blast five home runs, Yu Darvish pitches well enough for 100th career victory in three-run win over Colorado in Denver
Manny Machado raised his right hand over his head as his first-inning drive cleared the oversized wall in right-center field. His smile widened as he rounded first base as the home-run ball came to a rest in Coors Field’s home bullpen.
“You just have to stay short as we’ve been doing,” said Juan Soto, whose first-inning single to right extended his streak to hits in seven straight at-bats. “We have to keep doing the same thing, stay short, hit the ball the other way and don’t think you’re in Coors Field trying to hit the ball 500 feet.That’s Sanchez’s specialty, and he followed Grisham’s solo shot in the second with a two-run shot to left, his fifth in 10 games since joining the Padres.
Cronenworth finished with three hits after his ninth-inning triple split the left-center alley, and Tatis, Soto and Machado all had two hits in getting off to a good start in a place that had especially haunted the Padres over the last two years. All that offense made it that much easier for Darvish to navigate his way through the high altitude, not to mention frequent sticky-stuff checks from umpires early in the start.
