The Padres once again fail to sweep a 3-game series, something they haven't done all season long.
He threw 7.0 innings of 1-run ball with 12 strikeouts and exactly zero walks, which is fairly remarkable at Coors Field considering Snell came into the game with a 7.48 ERA in five career starts there.
Snell allowed a solo homer in the 1st inning to Ezequiel Tovar before starting his dominant day. The Padres tied it in the 3rd inning when Juan Soto hit a sacrifice fly to score Fernando Tatis Jr. and took the lead in the 4th on Jake Cronenworth's 2-run homer. At the time it felt like that would be enough.
Gone was the lead. Gone was Snell's win. For a second it looked like Colorado would take the lead. They put two runners on with one out. Melvin called upon rookie Tom Cosgrove, who has been fabulous out of the bullpen. Tovar hit a sinking liner to left-centerfield and Soto, who is not known by any stretch as a great defensive outfielder, made a great defensive play. Soto dove to make the catch then threw to Manny Machado at 3rd base.
