Stults Pitches Streaking Padres past Rockies 1-0

colorado-rockiesSAN DIEGO (AP) — Eric Stults pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the San Diego Padres won their fifth straight game, beating the Colorado Rockies 1-0 on Monday night.

Stults (8-17), who is tied with Philadelphia right-hander A.J. Burnett for the major league lead in losses, scattered seven hits and a walk over 6 1-3 innings in beating the Rockies for the first time this season after two defeats. Kevin Quackenbush pitched the ninth for his sixth save, ending Colorado’s season-high, six-game winning streak.

San Diego went ahead in the first inning when Rene Rivera’s double scored Jedd Gyorko, who walked. It was Rivera’s fifth RBI and third double in four games.

Rockies starter Tyler Matzek (6-11) struck out eight in six innings. He allowed one run, four hits and three walks.
