DENVER —
For the first time in nine years, the Padres have arrived in mid-June as a question mark.
Buyer or seller?
Padres players aren’t quite ready to give in to their bosses choosing the latter.
“Gotta win,” Eric Hosmer said Friday afternoon.
About five hours later, he contributed to an historic six-run ninth inning that staved off a seemingly certain loss and allowed the Padres to eventually beat the Rockies 16-12 in 12 innings Friday night at Coors Field.
The deciding inning was started by Fernando Tatis Jr.’s triple off the center field wall.
