DENVER —
The Padres began Saturday the way they finished Friday.
Then Eric Lauer picked up where had left off in his last game at Coors Field.
And then the night got even crazier.
The Padres fell behind big, got back in the game and then lost 14-8.
The Rockies drove Lauer from the game in the third inning, and after scoring five runs against him added six more against Robbie Erlin and three more against Gerardo Reyes.
Ian Desmond’s grand slam gave the Rockies an 11-4 lead in the fifth inning, affording the Padres two extra innings to work back from nearly an identical deficit they faced seven innings into Friday’s 16-12 victory.
