Yu Darvish pitched into the sixth inning to earn his 100th career win and was backed by five home runs as the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 9-6 Friday night.
Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., Gary Sánchez, Trent Grisham and Brandon Dixon all went deep to help the Padres win consecutive games for the first time since May 25-26.
“It means a lot," Darvish said."It just tells you that I’ve been able to play this long and go into battle with my teammates.” “A lot of times, you get a little confidence again and you do some things you’ve done in the past," Padres manager Bob Melvin said of Sánchez."He’s still a young man for what he does. Each and every game he has like this, you’ll see some of the potential he’s always had.”
