Sunday was once again all Rockies and no Padres offense. Jackson Williams delivered a crushing blow in the 2^nd, hitting a three-run home run to put the Rockies up 3-0, his first of his career. That was really all starting pitcher Franklin Morales needed, as he pitched 6 scoreless innings while striking out 6 and only allowing 4 hits.

Sunday marked the second time in the weekend that the Padres were shutout. The loss was Ross’ 13^th. The only Padre who had a good game was Gyorko, with 2 hits, including a double and a walk.
