SAN DIEGO — Luis Campusano put San Diego ahead with a three-run homer, Garrett Cooper and Eugy Rosario hit it out of the park and the Padres defeated the Colorado Rockies 11-9 on Monday to string together their fifth victory, their best streak in the season.
The Padres, who have had a disappointing season after falling into the race for the National League pennant last year, have little chance of advancing to the postseason: On Monday they were six games out of the last wild card, with four teams ahead.
Campusano fell to his right knee after hitting his seventh home run, which put San Diego up 5-3 with two outs in the third inning against Ty Blach (3-2), who took the loss. Campusano finished with three hits.
Juan Soto hit two RBI singles to join Aaron Judge (2022, 2017) as the only active players with several seasons with at least 30 home runs, 100 RBIs and 100 walks. The Dominican, who is the 40th player in MLB history to achieve this, already signed a season like this in 2019 with Washington.
Padres starter Michael Wacha (12-4) scored the victory after giving up three runs on five hits in as many innings, in which he fanned six and walked none.
For the Rockies, Venezuelans Ezequiel Tovar 1-for-5, with one run scored and one RBI; Elías Díaz was 1 for 4, with two runs scored and one produced. Dominican Elehuris Montero 5-1, with one scored.
For the Padres, the Dominicans Fernando Tatis Jr. 4-2, with one run scored; Juan Soto 4-2, with one run scored and two RBIs; Eguy Rosario 2-for-4, with two runs scored and two RBIs. Venezuelan José Azocar 4-0.
