Cole Carrigg delivered the first multi-homer game of his career, going 4-for-5 with five RBIs and finishing a triple shy of the cycle as the Colorado Rockies defeated the San Diego Padres 9-3. His three-run homer capped a five-run sixth inning and helped Colorado snap an eight-game losing streak, while Troy Johnston added three hits and Ryan Feltner threw five scoreless innings in relief. Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Campusano and Austin Hays each homered for San Diego, ending the Padres’ eight-game winning streak and slowing their push for an NL wild-card berth. Kyle Freeland, making his first start after a neck injury, allowed three solo homers in four-plus innings, and Colorado improved to 56-95 while trying to avoid a fourth consecutive 100-loss season.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
The sixth inning with Johnston's three hits must have been fun to watch after the Padres had been winning so much lately.
Carrigg's two homers and four hits finally got the Rockies out of that slump with some real power at the plate.
