DENVER -- Nearly lost in the shadow of Wil Myers' cycle Monday night was Miguel Diaz's first Major League win. The Padres' rookie right-hander relieved starter Jarred Cosart after four scoreless innings, pitching a perfect fifth to earn the win over the Rockies.
Diaz has not yielded a hit or a walk through the first four appearances of his career, spanning 3 1/3 innings.
"He's been in a lot of leverage situations," manager Andy Green said. "He's pitched in big, pivotal situations, and he's thrown the ball really well."
Monday's fifth inning was unusual because of the production from San Diego's unprecedented three Rule 5 players.
