The Colorado Rockies erased a five-run deficit in the eighth inning on Thursday to defeat the San Diego Padres 10-9, marking the team’s largest comeback of the season. The victory provides a glimmer of hope for the Rockies, who have yet to win a series in eight tries and hold a 7-19 record. Rookie right fielder Hunter Goodman highlighted the rally with a 448-foot home run, his first of the year, while Brenton Doyle and Brendon Rodgers each had three hits. Daniel Hudson struggled as the Rockies’ starter, giving up six runs on six hits and four walks through 3 1/3 innings.

The Colorado Rockies have optioned first baseman/right fielder Michael Toglia to Triple-A Albuquerque and recalled utility player Hunter Goodman to take his place on the 26-man roster. Toglia has struggled this season, batting just .106/.143/.362 with four home runs and a 40.8% strikeout rate. Goodman, on the other hand, has impressed at Triple-A, hitting .298/.352/.690 with seven home runs and a 20.9% strikeout rate. The Rockies hope that sending Toglia down will allow him to “take a step back and sort of regroup,” while Goodman will provide some depth in the outfield and at first base.
