San Diego Padres’ David Peralta rounds the bases after hitting a three-run home run in the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park on Sunday, Aug. 4, 2024. Both feats play a key role in a 10-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday as the Padres won a fifth straight series since the All-Star break.A winning weekend against the NL’s second-worst team was about exorcising personal demons.

Matt Waldron took the baton from there, throwing 5⅓ strong innings against the backdrop of a trio of longballs. In the sixth, Justin Lawrence hit Xander Bogaerts and walked Jackson Merrill to open the inning. Peralta then yanked a 1-1 sinker over the wall in the wall in right — the one he made sure that Hilliard didn’t clear — for a 6-1 lead. The homer was Peralta’s third of the season and second in his last nine games.
