GAME STORY: Opening night was a smash hit for the Rockies’ C.J. Cron, who launched two homers, went 4-for-5, racked up 11 total bases and drove in five runs in a historic starring role.
Charlie Blackmon, German Marquez and Elehuris Montero co-starred in Colorado’s 7-2 victory over the Padres on a chilly Friday at jam-packed Petco Park. The Rockies banged out 17 hits, more than any road game all of last season.
Manager Bud Black was not surprised by Cron’s performance. After all, the veteran first basemen led Colorado with 29 homers and 102 RBIs last season, even though a wrist injury slowed him down in the second half. It marked just the third time in their 31 seasons that the Rockies went back-to-back on opening day and the first time against a team other than Arizona.
