San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies
3:10 PM ET, September 15, 2010
Coors Field, Denver, Colorado
After watching their lead atop the NL West all but vanish, the San Diego Padres are back in control of the division after cooling off the Colorado Rockies.
The Padres will try for their first sweep at Coors Field in nine years Wednesday afternoon when the teams conclude their three-game series.
San Diego (82-62) and Colorado (79-66) were headed in opposite directions when this week began, with the Rockies having won 10 in a row. The Padres, meanwhile, owned a 6 1/2-game lead in the division Aug. 25, but came out of their weekend series against San Francisco with their advantage down to one percentage point.
However, they snapped Colorado's streak in Monday's series opener and recorded a 7-6 victory Tuesday to push Colorado 3 1/2 games back. San Diego has a 1 1/2-game lead over the second-place Giants.
"Every game is a big one this time of year. Every team will tell you that," manager Bud Black said. "The Rockies are tough and they're especially tough at home."
