Padres 1, Rockies 0: Eric Stults tossed 6 1/3 solid innings and Rene Rivera ripped an RBI double among his two hits as visiting San Diego recorded its fifth straight victory.

Jedd Gyorko had a single and scored for the Padres, who have won seven of their last eight. Yangervis Solarte and Cory Spangenberg each had a single as San Diego mustered just five hits.

Justin Morneau ripped a double and matched DJ LeMahieu with two hits for the Rockies, who saw their season-high six-game winning streak come to an end. Tyler Matzek (6-11) suffered the hard-luck loss despite allowing one run on four hits and striking out eight in six innings.

After the first two batters grounded out in the first, Gyorko worked a walk to extend the inning. Rivera deposited a 3-1 fastball from Matzek into the right-center field gap to plate Gyorko to give San Diego the early advantage.

The modest offense proved to be just enough for the Padres, who saw Stults (8-17) scatter seven hits and strike out five to pick up the win. Three relievers bridged the gap to Kevin Quackenbush, who retired the side in the ninth for his sixth save.
