It didn’t start out the way Padres fans wanted, but it certainly ended in ideal fashion.
San Diego (20-14) recorded their 20th win on the back of a 19-hit effort that helped them come back from an early four-run deficit in the first inning.
The Rockies (16-16) recorded three hits in the opening stanza which was capped off by DH Matt Kemp’s three-run shot. It looked like another instant collapse by the Friars, who suffered from that same fate in the second half of Thursday’s double-header against the Mariners, but the bullpen was up to the challenge.
