But the Padres have been giving him a shot and he\u2019s responded with season-high eight-game hitting streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It was the third career walkoff hit for Myers, who was picked off second base in the fourth inning, costing the Padres a run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s definitely big whenever you struggle and then you have the ability to find it and kind of ride that out,\u201d Myers said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice, being toward the end, especially going into the offseason with something and sticking with that so you have some confidence there. I just want to continue doing this and stay with that plan and riding it out as long as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Myers said he\u2019s been putting in extra work before games, \u201cbut at the end of the day, if you don\u2019t get in the batter\u2019s box and execute a plan, none of that stuff really matters. You can work all you want, but as soon as you step in that box it\u2019s time to be ready and execute a plan and that\u2019s what I\u2019m focused on now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">His plan Sunday was to \u201clook for a fastball and hit it up the middle. That\u2019s the way my swing works well. It helps me stay inside the ball, helps me have my swing continue through the strike zone longer and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been working on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Machado started the winning rally when he drew a one-out walk off Jesus Tinoco (0-2), who made way for left-hander Sam Howard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Eric Hosmer walked, and Yency Almonte came on to face Myers, who singled to the gap in left-center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Myers is the lone player remaining from San Diego\u2019s failed win-now approach with high-priced veterans in 2015. An All-Star in 2016, he was given an $83 million, six-year contract extension before the 2017 season and dubbed the face of the franchise. But he didn\u2019t embrace a leadership role and has bounced around from the outfield to first base to third base and back to the outfield. The Padres have since signed Machado and Hosmer to big free agent contracts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Craig Stammen (8-7) pitched a perfect 10th for the win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Padres blew a big chance to break a 1-1 tie in the sixth against DJ Johnson, who loaded the bases on a hit, a walk and a hit batsman while also throwing two wild pitches. Bryan Shaw came on with two outs and struck out rookie pinch-hitter Austin Allen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the third when Pat Valaika hit a leadoff double, advanced on Eric Lauer\u2019s wild pitch and scored on Drew Butera\u2019s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">San Diego tied it in the fourth when Luis Urias\u2019 two-out bloop single brought in Josh Naylor from second base. Myers opened the inning with a double but was picked off by Peter Lambert before Naylor doubled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lambert allowed one run and five hits in five innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe pitched pretty well,\u201d Rockies manager Bud Black said. \u201cAgain, the last inning, not ideal. Walk, walk and then fastball elevated. There were encouraging signs from a few guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lauer gave up one run and four hits in six innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">NIFTY PLAY<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Rockies shortstop Trevor Story made a diving stop of a grounder by Machado and flipped the ball with his glove to second baseman Pat Valaika to start an inning-ending double play in the first. Story made another nice play to end the eighth, sliding on the outfield grass to nab Austin Hedges\u2019 grounder and then throwing him out with a one-hopper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI thought the one up the middle in the first inning, oh man that was awesome,\u201d Black said. \u201cTrev\u2019s been doing that all year. That was a great play against Hedges. You know, ball in the hole, backhand from his knees. What a play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">OUTFIELD ASSISTS<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Padres rookie right fielder Josh Naylor threw out Daniel Murphy trying to stretch a leadoff single into a double in the second, and Nick Martini threw out Charlie Blackmon trying to take second on Nolan Arenado\u2019s fly ball to left in the fourth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Rockies: RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-6, 7.29) is scheduled to start Tuesday night\u2019s opener of a three-game home series against St. Louis, which is expected to counter with RHP Michael Wacha (6-6, 4.98).<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Padres: Rookie RHP Cal Quantrill (6-6, 4.57) is scheduled to start Monday night\u2019s opener of a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs, who counter with RHP Kyle Hendricks (9-9, 3.39).<\/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\/myers-walk-off-single-lifts-padres-to-2-1-win-over-rockies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Diego Padres&#8217; Wil Myers watches his walkoff single during the tenth inning of a baseball game against the Colorado Rockies, Sunday, Sept. 8, 2019, in San Diego.
