Carrigg goes 4 for 5 and the Rockies defeat the Padres 9-3 to end their 8-game losing streak

Cole Carrigg homered twice on a 4-for-5 night, Troy Johnston had three hits and two RBIs, and the Colorado Rockies defeated the San Diego Padres 9-3 to end an eight-game losing streak. It was the first career multi-homer game for Carrigg, a 24-year-old rookie who finished a triple shy of the cycle. His three-run shot to right field capped a five-run sixth inning that gave Colorado a four-run lead.

The loss snapped an eight-game win streak for the Padres, who remained 2 1/2 games ahead of Arizona for the final National League wild card. After relieving Rockies starter Kyle Freeland in the fifth, Ryan Feltner tossed five scoreless innings.
