Coors On Tap At Petco

In the second highest scoring game in Petco Park history the Padres come out on top of the wild 11-9 game. The 20 combined runs is second only to a 27 runs affair between San Diego and Atlanta last July (a Pads 15-12 victory). After the Padres pulled even at 2 runs apiece the Rockies scored 4 runs in the 5th against Friars starter Clay Hensley to take a 6-2 lead. With 2 on and 2 out in the bottom half Mike Cameron smashed a 1-1 fastball over the center field wall to start an unprecedented 9 run 2 out rally that saw Pete Laforest hit a frozen rope out to right for a 2 run bomb in part of the 12 batters to step in against 3 Colorado pitchers.

Trevor Hoffman converted his 30th save of the season for the 12th time in his career. Shortstop Khalil Greene aided Hoffman by making a nice play to record the first out in the HOF closer's perfect inning.

Notes:
