Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/a> and Xander Bogaerts<\/a> hit home runs in the fifth inning, part of a five-homer game for San Diego<\/a>, and the Padres routed the scuffling Colorado Rockies<\/a>, 21-0, on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Jake Cronenworth<\/a>, Gavin Sheets<\/a> and Jason Heyward<\/a> also went deep for San Diego. The Padres set season highs in runs and hits (24) for the second straight game while sending Colorado to its eighth straight loss.<\/p>\n

The Rockies, who are 6-33, matched the 1988 Baltimore Orioles<\/a> for the worst 39-game start in the majors in 130 years. Baltimore finished 54-107 that season.<\/p>\n

Stephen Kolek<\/a> (2-0) tossed a shutout in his second major league start. He cruised through Colorado\u2019s lineup, allowing five hits and struck out seven.<\/p>\n

The only time he faced trouble was in the sixth when the Rockies had runners on the corners with one out, but he induced Hunter Goodman<\/a> into an inning-ending double play.<\/p>\n

Sheets homered off Bradley Blalock<\/a> (0-2) in the five-run first inning and Heyward hit a three-run shot in the fourth when San Diego sent 12 men to the plate. The Padres scored at least one run through the first six innings.<\/p>\n

Jackson Merrill<\/a> had four hits and Elias Diaz<\/a> and Luis Arraez<\/a> finished with three hits apiece. Eight batters recorded at least two hits for San Diego.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/h2>\n

Colorado catcher Jacob Stallings<\/a> tossed the final two innings. He gave up a run in the eighth and struck out D\u00edaz looking to start the ninth.<\/p>\n

Key stats<\/h2>\n

Merrill, who went 4-for-6, has five straight multi-hit games, tied with Philadelphia<\/a>\u2019s Trea Turner<\/a> for the longest active streak in the majors. Merrill, who missed a month with a right hamstring strain, is batting .538 since returning to the lineup Tuesday.<\/p>\n
