The Padres hit hard early, and we found ourselves in catch-up mode pretty quickly. Let's dive into the action and see how it unfolded.Early Padres Lead

Our Ezequiel Tovar had a rough start as his error gave the Padres some extra leverage. By the end of the 2nd inning, a home run by Jackson Merrill put them ahead 6-0. Oof!Rockies Rally Attempt
Despite the unsteady start, our Rockies charged back with Mickey Moniak delivering a solo homer in the 4th, and another clutch three-run blast in the 6th!
That definitely got us back in the game, bringing the score 7-4. Ezequiel Tovar had a pivotal double in the 7th, scoring Braxton Fulford and making it even closer at 7-6. The excitement was real as Moniak brought in another run! Padres Hold Strong
Unfortunately, the Padres responded in the 8th, securing their lead with a decisive ground-rule double by Gavin Sheets that extended their lead to 9-6.
