Summary
The San Diego Padres achieved a historic feat on Saturday night in Denver, defeating the Colorado Rockies 21-0, marking the largest margin of victory in franchise history. This shutout also represented the first instance since 1889 where a starting pitcher benefited from such an offensive display while throwing a complete game shutout. Stephen Kolek, a Rule 5 draft pick prior to the 2024 season, accomplished this remarkable achievement in just his second career start.
