Despite a three-run, sixth-inning rally powered by an RBI double by Charlie Blackmon, followed up by a two-run homer by C.J. Cron, the Rockies lost, 8-4, to the Padres.
San Diego sealed the game with a two-run eighth. The Padres were gifted two walks and a wild pitch by Dinelson Lamet and converted on Juan Soto’s two-run, two-out single.
For a while — at least, until Lamet’s meltdown — the Rockies had a puncher’s chance to rally for a victory. That wasn’t the case very often last season when the Rockies hit just 51 homers on the road. In their first three games this year, they have already hit five, three of them by Cron, the team’s lone 2022 All-Star.
Urena, who signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract to return to the Rockies, was off-kilter from the start. He threw 36 pitches and walked three in the Padres’ two-run first inning. Urena had a chance to escape the mess when Soto grounded back to the mound for what shaped up to be a double play, but Urena’s off-target throw prevented shortstop Ezequiel Tovar from turning the double play. Xander Bogaerts made Urena pay for his mistake, rocketing a two-run homer to left.
