Colorado Rockies vs Padres @ Petco Park
May 17-19, 2021
Sometimes things can get a little fuzzy after an entire year of watching baseball from anywhere other than the ballpark. The occasional memory refresher can come in handy. Here’s a reminder of what we may have missed while most of us were still staying at home.
This is The Hangover.
Game 42
Padres 7, Rockies 0
Winning Pitcher: Yu Darvish (4-1, 1.81)
Losing Pitcher: Jon Gray (4-4, 3.48)
The Padres (25-17) defeated the Colorado Rockies (15-27) by a score of 7-0 in the first game of three at Petco Park. Yu Darvish (4-1, 1.81) pitched seven shutout innings, allowing four hits and no walks with ten strikeouts. Nabil Crismatt pitched the final two shutout innings without allowing a hit or walk.
