When the San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies meet in a road matchup, it usually results in a high number of hits and an equally high number of runs. That was not the case on Friday when the Padres traveled to Scottsdale, Ariz. to play the Rockies at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. The game turned into a pitchers duel and it was decided in the bottom of the ninth when Zac Veen hit a walk-off home run to give Colorado a 3-2 win. San Diego managed just four hits in the game with three of those hits coming from the starting lineup. Jake Cronenworth, Ramon Laureano and Sung-Mun Song got on base with hits and the fourth hit was added by Samad Taylor, who had an RBI-single in the top of the eighth inning. The Padres return to the Peoria Sports Complex to host the Seattle Mariners in their second meeting of the spring on Saturday at 12:10 p.m.
