Manny Machado’s incredible circus catch and a hiccup by their bullpen led to the Rockies’ 3-2 loss to the Padres on Saturday afternoon at Coors Field.
And so the reeling Rockies lost for the sixth consecutive time and fell to 0-5 on the current homestand.
Reliever Jake Bird, who has been so solid this season, was charged with the loss after giving up two runs in the sixth. Colorado starter Kyle Freeland showed again why he is the Rockies’ John Wayne. True Grit. While the lefty didn’t have his best stuff, he limited San Diego to one run on six hits over five innings. He struck out five and walked two.
Manager Bud Black relieved Freeland after the lefty threw 90 pitches and told Black that he had “emptied the tank.” But the Padres got to Bird to take a 3-2 lead. Bird gave up two hits and walked two in the inning, the key blow a two-run single by Fernando Tatis Jr. The Padres scratched out a run in the first off Freeland, combining a two-out single by Machado with an RBI single to left by Gary Sanchez. Machado, running with the pitch, sprinted around third and beat Tovar’s throw to the plate from short.
