Sheets' 3-run homer in the 9th inning helps Padres beat the Rockies 5-2
SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Gavin Sheets' second homer of the game was a three-run,
game-ending shot in the ninth inning as the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado
Rockies 5-2 on Friday night.
Colorado's Juan Mejia (0-2) came on in the ninth inning and gave up a leadoff
single to Jackson Merrill and walked Manny Machado. After Xander Bogaerts flied
out, Sheets hit a 99.6 mph four-seam fastball 434 feet over the wall in
right-center.
San Diego starter Walker Buehler struck out four and allowed three hits in six
scoreless innings. The 31-year-old right-hander, who spent his first eight MLB
seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, signed a minor league contract with San
Diego in February. Mason Miller (1-0) struck out the side in the ninth.
Luis Campusano also homered and doubled for the Padres.
Colorado pinch hitter Hunter Goodman hit a two-out RBI single, moved to second
when Tyler Freeman singled and scored on a hit by Jordan Beck to make it 2-all
in the eighth inning.
Sheets hit a leadoff homer off Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano in the fifth
inning and, after Miguel Andujar flied out, Campusano added a solo shot to make
it 2-0.
Sugano gave up two runs and four hits in six innings.
