Brief game recap: 

The San Diego Padres and the Colorado Rockies recently squared off in a Spring Training game, which became a kind of drubbing as the innings passed by.

However, it was the Rockies who managed to break through the Padres’ defenses in the bottom of the first inning, securing a run. 

But the Padres didn’t let their rivals get the upper hand for long. In the top of the fifth inning, Trent Grishman emerged from the dugout and sent a soaring home run sailing over the right-center field. As time went on, Fernando Tatis Jr. scored another run in the same inning. Jake Cronenworth stepped up to the plate and sent another home run flying out of the park. The Padres ultimately emerged victorious with a score of 7-1.
