DENVER (AP) --- Dylan Cease permitted one hit in seven dominant innings and
pinch-hitter Tyler Wade singled home the tiebreaking run in the eighth, sending
the San Diego Padres to a 3-1 victory over the struggling Colorado Rockies on
Monday night.
Cease (3-1) struck out eight and walked none, allowing only one baserunner in a
90-pitch outing. Acquired from the Chicago White Sox in a March 13 trade, the
right-hander lowered his ERA to 1.82 --- his best mark through five outings in
six major league seasons.
Luis Campusano had two hits for the Padres and scored the go-ahead run. San
Diego has won 10 of the past 12 meetings between the NL West rivals dating to
last April.
With runners at the corners in the ninth, Robert Suarez got Ryan McMahon to
ground into a game-ending double play for his eighth save.
Colorado lost for the eighth time in nine games and dropped to 5-18, the worst
record in the National League.
Nick Mears (0-2) gave up both Padres runs in the eighth.
