Manny Machado and Ramon Laureano homered Saturday night as the San Diego Padres overcame an early 4-0 deficit to stop the visiting Colorado Rockies 9-5.

San Diego's German Marquez (2-1) won in his first start against the team for which he pitched the last 10 years. Marquez permitted four runs on four hits in five innings, walking two and striking out five in his second straight victory.

Laureano gave the Padres a 6-4 lead in the fourth when he pounced on a hanging changeup from Ryan Feltner (1-1), lining it an estimated 388 feet into the left field seats for his third homer of the year. Laureano collected two hits and two walks, scoring three runs to lead the team's 10-hit attack.

Machado capped San Diego's three-run third inning when he drilled a 3-0 fastball from Feltner 403 feet into the bleachers in left-center for his second homer. It scored Jackson Merrill, who knocked in the first run on a fielder's choice bouncer.

Feltner allowed seven hits and six runs in four innings, walking three and whiffing four. Colorado pitchers aided San Diego's offense by issuing seven walks, including one to Fernando Tatis Jr. with the bases filled to start a three-run sixth inning. Merrill followed with a two-run double off the glove of diving second baseman Edouard Julien for a 9-4 advantage.

Wasted in the loss was a big game by Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak. He went 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBI. Moniak followed Julien's leadoff single by rifling a two-run homer into the seats in right in the top of the first.

The duo doubled Colorado's lead in the third. Julien drilled a sinker an estimated 375 feet over the wall in left-center for his first homer, followed one out later by Moniak's fifth homer of the year to right-center.

Moniak added an RBI single in the eighth. The Rockies brought the tying run to the plate in the ninth with two singles and a walk. With closer Mason Miller unavailable after pitching three straight days, right-hander Jason Adam came out of the bullpen for his first save, retiring Ezequiel Tovar on a pop-up.

Tatis, who usually plays right field, made his first career start at second base. A former shortstop, Tatis has been a full-time outfielder since 2023 and made one career appearance at second base before Saturday.

Second baseman Jake Cronenworth played short on Saturday as starter Xander Bogaerts had the day off.
