=== San Diego Padres Team Report - June 17 === (My Sportsbook) - The San Diego Padres try for their third straight victory tonight as they play the Colorado Rockies in the second contest of a four-game series at Coors Field. San Diego won 7-5 last night, as Mark Loretta belted a three-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the Padres to the win. The Padres, who earned a 1-0 win against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, have won back-to-back games for the first time since taking three straight from April 23-25.
