Instead, it might have been his seventh-inning RBI double off Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt that put the Padres on top for good, 5-4.
"Game-changing at-bat, in my mind," said Padres interim manager Pat Murphy.
Kemp fell behind in the count, 0-2, then fouled off two pitches and then laid off two very close pitches before doubling over the head of Rockies' center fielder Charlie Blackmon on the seventh pitch of the at-bat.
