Tue Sep 8 202000:30Profar, Lamet lead Padres to 1-0 win over Rockies
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Jurickson Profar hit an RBI double with no outs in the ninth inning for the San Diego Padres, who got a brilliant performance from right-hander Dinelson Lamet to beat the Colorado Rockies 1-0 on Monday night for their sixth victory in eight games. Pinch-hitter Greg Garcia started the winning rally when he poked an opposite-field single past third baseman Nolan Arenado leading off the ninth. He was replaced by pinch-runner Jorge Mateo, who scored on Profar’s double to right off Carlos Estévez.Drew Pomeranz (1-1) pitched the ninth for the win.Lamet matched his season high with 11 strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings, the longest outing of his career. He allowed six hits and walked none. The Padres squandered two big scoring chances earlier, including loading the bases with one out in the seventh before Manny Machado lined out to third baseman Nolan Arenado, who doubled Fernando Tatis Jr. off first. Tatis originally was called safe but the Rockies challenged the call and it was overturned. Tatis was hit on the right arm by a pitch from Yency Almonte to load the bases.In the fifth, Tatis walked, stole second and advanced on catcher Tony Wolters throwing error before Machado and Mitch Moreland struck out. Rockies starter Kyle Freeland allowed three hits in six scoreless innings, struck out six and walked three.NICE PLAYSTatis, the Padres’ shortstop, and Machado, the third baseman, each started a nice inning-ending double play. In the second, Tatis fielded Daniel Murphy’s grounder, stepped on second and leaped over Arenado as he was sliding in, and threw to first. In the third Machado dove to his left to snap Raimel Tapia’s grounder, tagged Ryan McMahon as he tried to take third and then threw to first. TRAINER’S ROOMPadres: 1B Eric Hosmer injured a finger while bunting with two strikes for the second out of the first inning and was taken out of the game. He was replaced by Mitch Moreland, acquired during one of six trades general manager A.J. Preller made in the days before last week’s deadline. Later in the game, Hosmer was in the dugout with what appeared to be a splint on his left index finger. UP NEXTRockies: RHP Chi Gonzalez (0-0, 5.00) is scheduled to start Tuesday night. He has no decisions and a 4.85 ERA in three games, including two starts, against San Diego. He did not figure in an 8-5 loss here last year.Padres: RHP Mike Clevinger (1-2, 3.14) is scheduled to make his home debut. Acquired in a blockbuster deal with Cleveland, he took a 2-0 loss at Anaheim in his Padres debut on Thursday.
