Rockies lose 60 to Padres, suffer third consecutive shutout for first time
Apr 13, 2025
The 2025 Rockies are making history. Or should we say infamy?
They lost 6-0 to the Padres on Sunday afternoon, suffering their third consecutive shutout, something that had never happened before.
Right-hander Michael King toyed with Colorado’s feeble offense and pitched the first complete-game shu
tout of his career. He allowed only two hits, a single by Michael Toglia in the fifth and a single by Ezequiel Tovar in the ninth. King struck out eight and walked one.
The Rockies have opened the season 3-12, the worst 15-game start in franchise history.
San Diego, now 10-0 at Petco Park, swept the series, winning 8-0 on Friday night and 2-0. The Rockies managed nine hits and 12 base runners in the three-game series while striking out 32 times.
The game was decided in the first inning when the Padres scored four runs on four hits and a walk, off left-hander Kyle Freeland.
