Nick Pivetta fanned 10 hitters over seven shutout innings Friday night while Jose Iglesias poked two RBI singles in a six-run fifth inning as the San Diego Padres blanked the visiting Colorado Rockies 8-0.
Pivetta (2-1) gave up just three hits and a walk in his second dominant performance at Petco Park. He allowed just one hit in seven innings on March 30 during a 5-0 victory over Atlanta. Prior to this outing, Pivetta was 0-5 with a 15.51 earned run average against Colorado.
German Marquez (0-2) matched Pivetta until unraveling in the fifth inning. Marquez yielded seven hits and six runs, five earned, in 4 2/3 innings with a walk and three strikeouts. He entered the game with a 10-3 career mark against San Diego with five straight wins.
Xander Bogaerts singled and stole second to start the fifth, scoring on Iglesias' first hit. A catcher's interference and sacrifice bunt set up a two-run single by former Rockies catcher Elias Diaz.
Fernando Tatis Jr. singled Diaz to third. One out later, Tatis stole second and Hunter Goodman's throwing error cashed in Diaz. Manny Machado made it 5-0 with a ground-rule double and Iglesias legged out an infield hit with the bases filled for his second RBI of the inning.
Tatis upped the lead to 7-0 in the sixth with a solo homer to left-center, his third of the year. Gavin Sheets cracked a solo shot in the seventh, his second of the season.
Tatis, Sheets, Iglesias and Diaz each collected two of the Padres' 10 hits. They improved to 8-0 at home, the first time in franchise history they've done that, and have won 12 in a row at home, dating back to last year.
Kyle Farmer rapped out all three Colorado hits, doubling twice. The only other baserunner for the Rockies was Ezequiel Tovar, who walked with two outs in the sixth.
Rockies hitters fanned a total of 15 times.
