DENVER -- In their four-run first-inning rally on Monday night, the Padres got a bit of help en route to their first run. There was nothing cheap about the next three.
On a stormy evening at Coors Field, the Padres capitalized on a mistake from Rockies starter Chad Bettis. With runners on first and third, Bettis checked on Wil Myers at third base, then attempted to come set.
One problem: Bettis did so without the ball.
As Bettis moved his right hand toward his glove, the baseball slipped out of his palm.
