Sheets celebrates 30th birthday with go-ahead 3-run HR as Padres rally to beat
Rockies 10-8

Associated Press
DENVER (AP) --- Gavin Sheets hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the ninth
inning and Miguel Andujar had three RBIs as the San Diego Padres rallied to
beat the Colorado Rockies 10-8 on Thursday.
The Padres trailed 8-5 entering the ninth inning before Xander Bogaerts and
Andujar hit RBI singles, cutting the deficit to a run. Then, with runners on
first and third, Sheets launched a slider from Victor Vodnik 379 feet over the
right field wall for his third homer of the season. The game-winning swing came
on Sheets' 30th birthday.
It was the second blown save of the season for Vodnik (0-2).
San Diego's Mason Miller earned his MLB-leading ninth save of the season and
extended his scoreless streak to 33 ? innings. That ties Cla Meredith for the
longest run in Padres franchise history. The 27-year-old right-hander is tied
for the eighth-longest scoreless streak by a reliever in the Expansion Era
(since 1961).
Bogaerts and Ramn Laureano had two RBIs apiece for San Diego, which improved
to 15-3 in its past 18 games after a 2-5 start to the season. Bogaerts hit his
fourth homer of the season and improved his career batting average against the
Rockies to .366.
Ron Marinaccio (1-0) earned the win for the Padres after allowing one run in
two innings of relief.
Mickey Moniak matched a career high with four hits, including his team-leading
seventh and eighth home runs of the season, for the Rockies. It was Moniak's
fifth career multi-homer game and third of the season, two of which have come
against the Padres.
It was Colorado's eighth loss in its past nine games against San Diego.
