Batten down the hatches, take the kids to the cellar and make sure the humidor is plugged in. The Padres and Rockies are playing this weekend at Coors Field. That can only mean a plethora of runs, mile-high homers in bunches and shaky pitching.
The storm began Friday night with 10-8 Rockies victory in a game featuring 23 hits and five home runs. Fortunately for the Rockies, four of the homers were theirs and they got a 3-for-5 performance from Garrett Hampson.
Plus, young relievers Carlos Estevez and Jairo Diaz, who will play a big role in next year’s bullpen, blanked the Padres for the final two innings.
