The San Diego Padres defeated the Colorado Rockies 5–2 on April 10 at Petco Park, powered by three home runs that proved decisive in an otherwise sluggish offensive performance. San Diego managed just six hits but capitalized on power, driving in five runs while striking out six times and posting a .633 OPS. Colorado outhit the hosts 8–6 but managed only two RBIs and zero homers, leaving runners stranded throughout the contest. Padres starter scattered eight hits across his outing while striking out seven and posting a 3.40 ERA, though he allowed five earned runs—a concerning sign despite the victory. The Rockies' pitching staff issued three walks and allowed six hits in five earned runs, indicating control issues that undermined their solid strikeout rate of six. San Diego's defensive execution was flawless with no errors, while Colorado committed none either. The home run advantage proved the difference-maker in this low-hit affair, suggesting the Padres' power stroke could carry them through early-season inconsistency.
