SAN DIEGO -- There are some things with the baseball schedule that are strange this season.
And one chapter will be played out at Petco Park Monday and Tuesday.
The Padres will be hosting the Colorado Rockies for two games -- Monday night at 7:10 p.m. and Tuesday afternoon at 12:40 p.m. Two starts a little more than 12 hours apart seems a bit compact.
But this is also the Rockies second visit to Petco Park this season. And by the time the Rockies depart Lindbergh Field Tuesday night bound for San Francisco, they will have completed 12 of the season's 19 meetings with the Padres.
