After have a big offensive performance on Monday night, the San Diego Padres couldn’t hit the ball on Tuesday night as they were shut out by the Colorado Rockies and lost 4-0. Aaron Cook pretty much dominated the Padres as he tossed a complete game five hitter against them. The Padres and Rockies will now play a rubber match on Wednesday afternoon to see who will win the three game series.
Josh Banks took the loss and fell to 2-3 on the season. Banks was pitching really good until the fifth inning when he gave up four runs. An error by shortstop Khalil Greene didn’t help him out by any means in the fifth inning though. Clay Hensley threw two innings of relief before Cla Meredith pitched the eighth inning.
As for the Padres offense, there really isn’t a whole lot to blog about to be honest. Cook limited them to only five hits in the game and they were not able to score any runs. The offense took zero walks and struck out four times while leaving nine runners on base.
