DENVER -- With two runners on late in a one-run game, the Padres wanted no part of DJ LeMahieu. They issued the Rockies second baseman four wide ones and took their chances with Colorado's seventh-place hitter.
Michael McKenry quickly made San Diego pay.
On the first pitch after the intentional walk, McKenry delivered a bases-clearing double in the seventh off Padres starter Ian Kennedy, which handed the Rockies some breathing room in their 5-0 victory on Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.
"The biggest thing is just staying within yourself," McKenry said.
