What happened: The Colorado Rockies led the San Diego Padres 4-2, 6-4 and 7-6 before the game reached the ninth tied at 7. Their offense produced enough runs to control the matchup three different times.
Why it matters: Repeated defensive mistakes are turning scoreboard advantages into temporary reprieves. Until Colorado plays cleaner baseball, even a productive lineup cannot make this team reliable late in games.
