Rockies hold off Padres, win three-game series

Jacob Stallings had two hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 3-2 in Denver on Sunday.

Angel Chivilli (1-1) picked up the win in relief of Bradley Blalock. Victor Vodnik notched his ninth save for Colorado, which won the three-game series and finished 8-5 against the Padres this season.

Manny Machado homered for San Diego, which lost for just the sixth time since the All-Star break but also lost shortstop Ha-Seong Kim to a jammed right shoulder. Kim suffered the injury diving back to first base in the third and was replaced by Tyler Wade.

Brenton Doyle led off the sixth with a triple off reliever Bryan Hoeing (2-3), who intentionally walked Michael Toglia with one out. Stallings came through with a single that David Peralta misplayed, allowing Toglia to go to third.

Toglia scored on Sam Hilliard's groundout to make it 3-1.

Machado led off the eighth with his 19th home run.

San Diego starter Joe Musgrove was making just his second start since May 26. He was activated from the injured list on Aug. 12 and tossed 4 1/3 shutout innings against Pittsburgh.

In the third, Colorado's Jordan Beck led off with a single and Aaron Shunk doubled to left for his first major league RBI and a 1-0 lead.

Musgrove walked Doyle with two outs to put runners on the corners but picked off Doyle to end the inning.

San Diego answered in the fourth when Xander Bogaerts singled, Jackson Merrill reached on a fielder's choice and scored on Peralta's double.

Musgrove got Hilliard swinging leading off the fifth for his 1,000th career strikeout but left after walking Beck. He allowed one run on three hits, fanned six and walked two in 4 1/3 innings.

Blalock ran into trouble in the sixth after walking Wade with two outs but Chivilli came on and got the final out. Blalock allowed one run on six hits in 5 2/3 innings, issuing three walks and striking out two.
