Rockies Report, Game 147:

ROCKIES BOTTOM LINE: The Rockies’ wait for their first run at Petco Park this season goes on.

After being shut out during the entire three-game series from April 11-13 at Petco Park, Colorado began its four-game set there this weekend with more of the same, mustering just four hits in a 2-0 loss Thursday night.

It was Colorado’s sixth-consecutive loss, and their second-straight shutout. The consecutive shutouts are the first for the Rox since that lost weekend in April.

Randy Vásquez took his turn at dominating the Rox, holding them to four hits over six innings while striking out nine. Mickey Moniak had half of the hits.

Colorado is 40-107. If the Rockies have a losing record the rest of the season, they are guaranteed to finish with one of the four worst marks of the expansion (1961-present) era.

ROCKIES STARTER’S REPORT

This was the best that McCade Brown has looked since being called up, but he still didn’t make it through the fifth inning in absorbing his fourth loss in as many major-league starts.

He did go deeper — 4 1/3 innings — than he had before. He was also able to get off to a solid start; a second-inning, one-out walk to Ramón Laureano represented the only baserunner he yielded before the third inning.

But a wild pitch to Fernando Tatis Jr. helped lead to the first run at his expense in the third. That allowed Freddy Fermin to advance to second base; Luis Arraez capitalized with a line-drive, two-out single to score Fermin.

One inning later, Jackson Merrill punished an elevated sinker for the Padres’ second and final run of the night. Brown was pulled after 81 pitches with one on in the fifth.
