Eric Hosmer scored and San Diego cut the deficit 3-2.A late push in the 9th inning gave the Padres hope after Cory Spangenberg launched a solo shot to center field and Jose Pirela hit an RBI triple to right field. But the trio of home runs by Desmond, Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu earlier in the game gave the Rockies plenty of cushion for a 7-4 victory over the Padres.
