Three homers, solid bullpen carry Rockies to win over Padres in San Diego

SAN DIEGO — The Rockies leveraged the longball to victory once again Monday night as a pair of milestone homers by recent call-ups, combined with a timely three-run jack by a veteran, paced Colorado to a 6-4 win over the Padres.
The game marked Colorado’s seventh time hitting at least three home runs this year, with six of those performances coming on the road, as the Rockies put Sunday’s season-high 15 strikeout showing in the rear view.
After the teams traded one run each in the first frame, a throwing error by shortstop Trevor Story with two outs in the fourth gave the Padres an unearned run and 2-1 advantage.
