Blake Snell enjoyed a productive outing on Tuesday night, rattling off a season-high 11 K’s with one run allowed through six innings of work and Jorge Mateo surged home on a wild pitch in the 10th to help the Padres escape a close one over the Rockies 2-1 at Petco Park.
The bullpen came through on a quiet offense night, allowing just one hit through the game’s final four innings while combining to fan seven. Pierce Johnson ended the day by striking out three in the top of the 10th to help set up the Padres for their game-winning score.
