DENVER -- The Rockies had been seeking an offensive awakening after losing four of their first five on their season-opening homestand. But they likely didn't think a breakout would manifest on the heels of their top run producer being ejected.
A benches- and bullpen-clearing fracas ensued after Padres starter Luis Perdomo threw behind Colorado third baseman Nolan Arenado, sparking an immediate five-run inning that the Rockies rode to a 6-4 win over the Padres on Wednesday.
Arenado was ejected for charging the mound after dodging an inside fastball from Perdomo on the first pitch in the bottom of the third.
