SAN DIEGO — The Rockies walked the high-wire Monday night at Petco Park. Their pitchers teetered and tottered. They walked 11 Padres batters. Count ’em, 11. But somehow, someway, the Rockies held on to win 5-4, notching their fifth consecutive victory. The Padres loaded the bases in the ninth against Jalen Beeks on three walks, but Beeks got Manny Machado to ground into a 5-4-3 double play to end the game. “That was exhilarating, for sure,”  a frazzled but happy Rockies manager Bud Black said.

Sleepless in Seattle, Doomed in Denver. Two straight postseasons. Two straight playoff exits for Valeri Nichushkin. It’s been real, Val. Lord, it’s been glorious. But this is your stop. The Avalanche title train needs engines it can rely on. You weep for the man. You rage at the loss. You wonder about the Avs front office, which circled the wagons, protected and enabled their troubled winger.

SAN DIEGO — For many major league pitchers, Colorado is Siberia, and Coors Field might as well be a gulag. That’s why Cal Quantrill’s early success with the Rockies has been so compelling. The right-hander didn’t choose to be exiled to the majors’ most hitter-friendly ballpark. The Rockies acquired him in a trade with Cleveland last November in exchange for minor-league catcher Kody Huff. So far, it’s looked like a smart move by general manager Bill Schmidt.
