Colorado @ San Diego preview

Last Meeting ( Sep 7, 2015 ) Colorado 6, San Diego 4

The Colorado Rockies finally have won a game at Petco Park and look to notch another when they visit the San Diego Padres on Tuesday for the second contest of their four-game set. Colorado lost the first five meetings in San Diego this season before producing a 6-4 victory in Monday's series opener.

Colorado's DJ LeMahieu went 2-for-4 with two runs scored for his fifth multi-hit performance in eight games. Nolan Arenado - the National League leader in RBIs (106) and the co-leader in home runs (36) with teammate Carlos Gonzalez - left Monday's game with a chest contusion but hopes to play on Tuesday. The Padres have dropped four straight games and six of their last seven, but Matt Kemp remains hot after hitting his 19th homer of the season and reaching base for the career-best 27th consecutive game. Kemp has collected 91 RBIs and is on pace to become only the 14th different player in San Diego history to reach the century mark and first since Chase Headley in 2012.
