Quick start propels Padres to victory over Rockies

Matt Waldron tossed six solid innings, Xander Bogaerts had three hits and the San Diego Padres rode a four-run first inning to a 5-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday in Denver. Ha-Seong Kim had two hits and two RBIs for San Diego. Waldron (1-2) used his knuckleball to keep Rockies batters off balance in his longest outing of the season, and allowed just one run on four hits. Robert Suarez got the final three outs for his ninth save as San Diego posted a second win in the first three games of a four-game series.
