Colorado swept a series for the first time since taking three from Miami Aug. 16-18.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhen you can get a sweep and participate in it, it\u2019s awesome,\u201d Fuentes said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Sam Howard (1-0) pitched 1 2\/3 innings to get the victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">San Diego (68-81) has not won more than 77 games since 2010. The Padres are one defeat from matching the team mark for consecutive losing records, set from their expansion season of 1969 through 1977.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Gonzalez, who got his first win in four years in his last outing, struggled with control and left after four innings. His two-run single in the second inning off Cal Quantrill (6-8) put the Rockies ahead for good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cYou look back at the outing and he gave up a two-run homer after that,\u201d Green said of Quantrill. \u201cIt was a battle; 75 pitches in three innings is a battle and he wasn\u2019t able to find a lot of swing-and-misses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">McMahon, Fuentes and Garrett Hampson had three hits each.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Wil Myers, Luis Urias and Josh Naylor homered for San Diego, which has lost four straight. Myers finished 2019 hitting .423 against the Rockies, including going 2 for 3 with two walks Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Myers\u2019 18th home run, a two-run shot, came after McMahon hit one to left-center to put Colorado ahead 4-1. McMahon added an RBI single in the seventh and Fuentes later hit a three-run shot to left to break it open.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">McMahon hit a solo homer with one out in the eighth, his 22nd, to give him the fourth multihomer game of the season and his career. He last did Aug. 17th against Miami.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He is tied for second on the team with 80 RBIs. It\u2019s also the most RBIs ever by a Colorado player who is predominantly a second baseman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cHe had a monster day and helped us win a ballgame,\u201d Colorado bench coach Mike Redmond said after the game. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing the growth of a great player and hopefully a Rockie for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">McMahon had just one assist in the field, a high throw that Fuentes was able to get to and get on the bag for the out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI think the position\u2019s just good luck right now,\u201d McMahon said. \u201cIt\u2019s really good when we can get a win like that and give Nolan a complete off day. He\u2019s our rock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Rockies: LHP Kyle Freeland (left groin strain) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Tuesday. He has been out since Aug. 23 but hopes to return before the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Padres: LHP Garrett Richards is expected to make his season debut at Milwaukee on Monday. Richards underwent Tommy John surgery in the offseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Rockies: RHP Antonio Senzatela (9-10, 6.87 ERA) will face the New York Mets for the second time this season to open a three-game series. Senzatela earned his first win since July 14 when he beat St. Louis on Wednesday.<\/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\/mcmahon-homers-twice-as-rockies-beat-padres-10-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado Rockies&#8217; Ryan McMahon (24) celebrates with Charlie Blackmon (19) after hitting a home run against the San Diego Padres in the third inning of a baseball game Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019, in Denver.
