David Dahl also had three hits as the Rockies put up double-digit runs in three of their last four games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI think we\u2019re doing a pretty good job, especially offensively right now,\u201d Blackmon said. \u201cIt seems like we\u2019re getting a lot of hits. I think we\u2019re competing really well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Greg Garcia singled twice to drive in a pair of runs for the Padres, who lost a road series for the first time this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Senzatela (3-2) bounced back after allowing a season-high seven runs, including three homers, in a loss to San Francisco last week. He gave up three runs on four hits in 6 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI just made quality pitches today,\u201d Senzatela said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Added Padres manager Andy Green: \u201cHe used a real good mix today and we didn\u2019t make the adjustment. He threw a lot less fastballs and used his changeup and curveball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Senzatela struck out seven, including the first two batters he faced in the seventh. But Wil Myers and Austin Allen each singled \u2014 it was Allen\u2019s first major league hit \u2014 and Senzatela was relieved by Carlos Estevez, who surrendered successive singles to Dickerson and Garcia before inducing an inning-ending groundout from Reyes as the Padres pulled to within 5-3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Colorado tacked on five more runs in the bottom half. With the bases loaded, Murphy lined a double down the first-base line off Brad Wieck. Tapia followed with his fifth homer, a drive into the center-field bleachers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Padres scored four times in the ninth, including a two-out, three-run homer by Franmil Reyes off Seunghwan Oh. Scott Oberg relieved and got Eric Hosmer to fly out to center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Both of Blackmon\u2019s homers came off Nick Margevicius (2-4), who allowed five runs on eight hits in five innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI threw him a 1-0 slider on the first home run and came back with a slider that was right over the plate,\u201d Margevicius said. \u201cThe second home run, I threw a fastball right over the plate on a 3-1 count. I fell behind on both home runs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Colorado jumped on Margevicius for four runs in the second. Blackmon capped the burst by driving a 1-0 pitch into the second deck above the visitors\u2019 bullpen for a two-run homer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He added a solo shot in the fourth, his first multihomer game of the season and the 11th of his career. Blackmon has eight homers this season, including three during the series, and has hit safely in 10 straight games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Rockies: LHPs Jake McGee (left knee sprain) and Chris Rusin (mid-back strain) are both expected to pitch again Tuesday as part of their rehab assignments at Triple-A Albuquerque. Manager Bud Black said there\u2019s still no timetable for either player\u2019s return. \u2026 LHP Tyler Anderson, who was optioned last week to Albuquerque, has told the club that he is still being bothered by a left knee injury. He went on the injured list last month with inflammation in the knee. Black said Anderson will see a nerve specialist Monday in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Padres: San Diego begins a two-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday, with RHP Chris Stratton (3-1, 1.55 ERA) set to start.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Rockies: LHP Kyle Freeland (2-5, 5.84) is slated to pitch the opener of a two-game series at Boston. Freeland has lost each of his last three road starts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/blackmon-homers-twice-rockies-beat-padres-10-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado Rockies&#8217; Charlie Blackmon (19) hits a home run in the fourth inning of a baseball game as San Diego Padres catcher Austin Allen, left, looks on in Denver, Sunday, May 12, 2019.
