Padres, Matt Waldron turn in strong starts to beat Rockies

We break down the game and look ahead to the rest of the series and early NL West storylines with the host of Locked On Padres, Javier Reyes!

DENVER — Xander Bogaerts had a season-high three hits, Matt Waldron gave up one run in six innings and the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Wednesday night.

“When Ty is on, he’s hitting his spots,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “The first inning, he didn’t. Then the baseball got him with the blooper. Really good pitch to Kim and then it’s just the little dorker right down the right field line. That’s baseball.” The multi-hit outing was the second in the past four games for Bogaerts, who entered Wednesday night batting just .198.

“I think I had a pretty good feel in the first inning,” Blach said. “I made a lot of really good pitches with two strikes. They battled and fouled them off. It’s just kind of one of those things where I wouldn’t really change anything.”
