Tatis, Heyward homer as the Padres shut out the Rockies again, 2-0
SAN DIEGO (AP) - Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a 424-foot leadoff home run and made a nice game-ending catch, Jason Heyward also went deep and Kyle Hart and three relievers combined on a four-hitter for the NL West-leading San Diego Padres, who shut out the Colorado Rockies for the second straight game, 2-0 on Saturday night.
Hart (2-0) went six innings, allowing just a double by Kyle Farmer in the fourth inning while striking out four and walking none. Jeremiah Estrada pitched a hitless seventh, Jason Adam allowed a single in the eighth and Robert Suarez allowed two singles in the ninth while earning his big league-leading seventh save in as many chances.
With runners on first and second and two outs in the ninth, Tatis ran down Kris Byrant’s liner in the right field corner and jumped to make the catch.
On Friday night, Nick Pivetta and two relievers combined on a three-hitter in an 8-0 win.
