Jeff Hoffman is going to make this very difficult on the Colorado Rockies brain trust. Called up to make his third spot start of the season, Hoffman was stupendous yet again, earning his third win in three chances, at times making the San Diego Padres look silly in a 3-1 Rockies win.
The first real scoring opportunity for either team came in the top of the fourth. DJ LeMahieu began things by lining a single to right (his specialty) on a 3-2 pitch and after Nolan Arenado struck out, Mark Reynolds hit a double down the right-field line to give the Rockies runners at second and third with one out.
