San Diego entered Saturday's game against the Rockies hoping to even the series behind its first lefty starter of the season, Robbie Erlin. Unfortunately for the Friars, Erlin had difficulty in his first Major League start of 2015, as Colorado tagged him for seven runs in a 10-2 loss at Coors Field. The Friars managed only seven hits, while the Rockies racked up 18 hits in the middle game of their weekend series.
Erlin, who made his first Major League start since Sept. 28, 2014, put the Padres in a precarious position early, as he allowed nine hits and one walk over three innings of work.
