With some home runs cranked and some decent pitching the Padres have finally arrived upon their 50th win of the season. They take the first of a three game road series against the Rockies.
Robbie Erlin kept things tight in only giving up 3 earned runs over 5 innings. Two came in the third inning on a deflected single off Erlin, then an RBI-double to Nolan Arenado. The final run allowed was a solo jack in the bottom of the fifth, his last inning pitched for the day before recording a total of 6 strikeouts, 5 hits allowed, and no walks.
