Rockies Embarrass the Padres, 20-1

Share
From Associated Press

Matt Holliday had eight RBIs and the San Diego Padres looked nothing like a playoff team in matching the most lopsided loss in franchise history, 20-1, to the Colorado Rockies at Denver.

“Nobody got hurt,” Padre Manager Bruce Bochy said, trying to find a bright spot.

Holliday hit two homers and his eight RBIs were the most in the NL this season.

Colorado matched a franchise record with its 20 runs. The loss, meanwhile, dropped the first-place Padres to 75-75. That’s still five games ahead of San Francisco in the NL West.
