Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres

SAN DIEGO -- Gavin Sheets' second homer of the game was a three-run, game-ending shot in the ninth inning as the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 5-2 on Friday night. Colorado's Juan Mejia (0-2) came on in the ninth inning and gave up a leadoff single to Jackson Merrill and walked Manny Machado. After Xander Bogaerts flied out, Sheets hit a 99.6 mph four-seam fastball 434 feet over the wall in right-center. San Diego starter Walker Buehler struck out four and allowed three hits in six scoreless innings. The 31-year-old right-hander, who spent his first eight MLB seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, signed a minor league contract with San Diego in February. Mason Miller (1-0) struck out the side in the ninth.
