SAN DIEGO (AP) — Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer, newly acquired starter Seth Lugo pitched seven strong innings and the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 3-1, salvaging a split of the four-game series after dropping the first two games. Bogaerts, a new fixture in the powerhouse Padres lineup, homered twice and drove in five runs on six hits in 13 at-bats in the season’s first four games. The Padres set a new four-game series attendance record at Petco Park (174,915), which opened in 2004, with four consecutive sellouts to open the season.
