Gavin Sheets was the hero of last night’s game after belting a three-run dinger about as deep as the Friar Faithful have seen a ball go in Petco Park. The crazy part: it wasn’t even his first homer of the game. Luis Campusano provided another solo shot to give the San Diego Padres a two-run lead.

That lead was preserved by a sterling outing from starter Walker Buehler until Adrian Morejon gave up two runs to the Colorado Rockies in the eighth inning, setting the stage for the dramatic finale. The Friars are now on their second three-game win streak of the season, and will push for four tonight (as well as the series win over Colorado). Taking the mound Ryan Feltner (COL) v.
