Most baseball fans expect to see their team boost its offensive numbers when playing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. That was the expectation of many San Diego Padres fans as well when the Padres opened their three-game set on the road against the Rockies on Tuesday night. That was not the case as Randy Vasquez, and for the majority of the time, Chase Dollander engaged in a pitcher’s duel. Vasquez struggle in his last outing allowing four runs over four innings, but the right-hander returned to form in Colorado. Vasquez pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits and did not allow a walk while recording five strikeouts en route to a 1-0 win. It would make sense that with a pitching performance like that, San Diego would have rolled to an easy win, but that was not the case. The Padres were held to just six hits and their only run was scored when Manny Machado drew a bases loaded walk in the top of the sixth inning. The bullpen arms of Jason Adam and Adrian Morejon pitched two scoreless innings and Morejon earned the save to preserve the win for San Diego.
