In losing their eighth consecutive game, Colorado fell to 6-33, keeping pace with the infamous 1988 Baltimore Orioles for the worst start after 39 games in the Modern Era (since 1901). The ’88 O’s opened their season with 21 consecutive losses.

The San Diego Padres have never had a game like they had on Saturday night in Denver. In fact, there hasn't been a game like what was witnessed at Coors Field in more than a century.

That was almost exactly the way to beat a bad team. Then the Padres’ bullpen surrendered seven runs in the final two innings and closer Robert Suarez had to come in and earn a save by getting the final two outs.
