Luis Campusano hit a go-ahead three-run home run and Garrett Cooper and Eugy Rosario also connected for the San Diego Padres, who beat the Colorado Rockies 11-9 to extend their winning streak to a season-best five games.
Cooper hit a two-run homer with no outs in the second, his 16th. Rosario hit a solo shot with two outs in the fourth, his second.
Juan Soto had two RBI singles to join Aaron Judge as the only active players with multiple 30-homer, 100-RBI, 100-walk seasons. Soto also did it in 2019 with Washington, his second big-league season. He’s the 40th player in big league history to accomplish the feat.Rockies rookie Nolan Jones homered off Nick Hernandez leading off the sixth, his 17th. Jones had three hits and two RBIs.
Padres starter Michael Wacha allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits in five innings. He struck out six and walked none. The Padres led 11-3 after five innings but turned it into a save situation for Josh Hader, who got the final out for his 30th.Third baseman Manny Machado said he might have surgery on his right elbow as soon as the Padres are eliminated from the playoff race. He’s been bothered by tennis elbow and has been relegated to playing designated hitter since Sept. 1. “As long as there’s a slight chance and we’re not eliminated, he wants to play as much as he can for his team,” manager Bob Melvin said.
