SAN DIEGO (AP) Jeff Hoffman cruised through seven innings, Trevor Story had a pair of RBIs and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Sunday.
Hoffman (3-0) struck out nine after being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill in for Tyler Anderson, sidelined by a left knee injury. The rookie right-hander allowed a run and San Diego’s only three hits as Colorado took three of four in the series.
Greg Holland pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 21st save in 21 chances, extending his franchise record for consecutive conversions to start a season.
