In a recent matchup, the Colorado Rockies faced off against the San Diego Padres, concluding with a score of 7-1 in favor of the Padres. This game left the Rockies with a record of 7-11 and the Padres advancing to 9-10. The game was marked by significant differences in performance between the two teams, particularly in terms of hitting and pitching.

The Rockies struggled at bat throughout the game, managing only five hits compared to sixteen by the Padres. The team's batting average stood at .161, with an on-base percentage (OBP) of .212 and an on-base plus slugging (OPS) rate of .406. Despite these challenges, Yonathan Daza and Harold Castro provided some highlights for the Rockies. Daza hit .500 with an OBP of .667 while Castro managed a batting average of .500 and an OBP of .5.

Overall, their pitchers faced forty-one batters across nine innings but struggled to contain San Diego's offense which was evident from their overall ERA standing at 7.0.

On defense, Ryan McMahon maintained his fielding percentage at 1.0 along with several other players who showed solid defensive performances despite the tough day at office including Elehuris Montero and Cole Tucker who also kept errorless games contributing to a team fielding percentage that remained flawless.
