Wieland gets 1st Win, Padres beat Rockies 4-3

colorado-rockiesSAN DIEGO (AP) — Joe Wieland earned his first big league win, and Tommy Medica hit a three-run home run and a replay-aided double to lead the San Diego Padres to a 4-3 victory against Colorado in their home finale Wednesday night.

The Padres notched their 76th win with four games to go, matching their victory total from each of the last two seasons.

It was San Diego’s 48th home win, setting the franchise single-season record at Petco Park, which opened in 2004.

Colorado’s Justin Morneau went 0 for 3 to see his NL-leading average drop two percentage points to .317. Pittsburgh’s Josh Harrison went 1 for 5 to drop to .316.

Wieland (1-0) was making his second start and fourth appearance since May 6, 2012. He underwent reconstructive surgery on his right elbow in July 2012, forcing him to miss all of 2013 and part of this season.
