The San Diego Padres came to Denver looking for momentum, and they will leave for home with plenty of it if they complete a three-game sweep against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday.
The Padres squeaked out a 3-2 win Saturday with a big hit by Fernando Tatis Jr. and stellar defense from Manny Machado, who made a sliding, bobbling catch in foul territory in the eighth inning.
Snell hopes he can get the kind of run support the Padres received in Friday night's 9-6 win. They hit five home runs, one by Gary Sanchez, who is the latest shrewd acquisition by San Diego. If Sanchez is in the lineup on Sunday, he will face Lamet. The struggling pitcher will make his third start since moving into the rotation.
