Home runs by Cronenworth, Machado, Abrams lift Padres to first victory in Denver in 14 months
They arrived at the idyllic ballpark in the unideal location a mile above sea level Monday having dropped 10 straight games.
Home runs by Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado and CJ Abrams — an extremely rare show of combined power by the Padres — provided the bulk of their offense in a 6-5 victory. Sean Manaea rebounded from his shortest start of the season by allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings for the win. Nabil Crismatt allowed a run while working the next 1 2/3 innings, and Taylor Rogers allowed two runs in the ninth before stranding the tying run at second base.
While players said they had talked about the reasons for the struggles here, Melvin said he was unaware the Padres had lost so many in a row at Coors Field.“This is a good place for us to get going here, too,” Melvin said. “We haven’t been our best offensively here in the last couple of weeks. So I think the guys are looking forward to four days here and hopefully get going with the bats and hopefully it’s a springboard for us.
The scoring began right away, as Cronenworth led off the game with a single, went to third on Nomar Mazara’s double and scored on a sacrifice fly by Luke Voit to halt a scoreless streak at 16 innings. After left-hander Lucas Gilbreath replaced Rockies starter Jose Urena to start the seventh, Machado launched his 15th home run of the season, which sailed a projected 446 feet and cleared the left field bleachers.
