SAN DIEGO — Jordan Pacheco drove in four runs, including the go-ahead score in the 12th inning, and Michael Cuddyer tied a career high with four hits as the Colorado Rockies outlasted the San Diego Padres 8-6 on Saturday night.
The victory snapped the Padres’ four-game winning streak and ended the Rockies’ three-game skid.
Cuddyer singled off Joe Thatcher (0-3), San Diego’s sixth reliever, with one out in the 12th. He was sacrificed to second by Carlos Torres and came around to score on Pacheco’s third hit of the game, a single to left. Ramon Hernandez made it 8-6 when he singled home Pacheco.
Torres (1-0) got the victory with two scoreless innings. Rafael Betancourt, the Rockies’ fifth reliever, came on in the 12th to pick up his 16th save.
