Red-hot Padres post first 1-0 win at Coors Field in 20 years
Not even Coors Field can stop the Padres right now.
The San Diego Padres are so hot right now, not even Coors Field can do its thing against them. San Diego became the first team since 2006 to win a road game 1-0 at Coors Field on Tuesday, defeating the Colorado Rockies for their third straight win and 11th in 12 games. Their record is now 16-7, tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in MLB.
It was starting pitcher Randy Vásquez who mostly kept the home team down, throwing seven scoreless innings while allowing three hits, walking none and striking out five. That continues a hot start to the season for him, bringing his ERA down to 1. 88.

Comically dominant closer Mason Miller had the day off after pitching in back-to-back games over the weekend, per Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune . The lone run of the game came during a sixth-inning jam for Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander, who was working as the bulk guy behind opener Jimmy Herget.
