(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Colorado Rockies have mostly pitched well against the San Diego Padres in the five games played thus far this season. However, the Rockies are 0-5 against the Friars due to a lackluster offense that was on display in the 1-0 loss on Tuesday. Tomoyuki Sugano (1-1, 3.92 ERA) performed well through his first couple of starts in a Rockies uniform before delivering his first clunker in purple. Facing the Los Angeles Dodgers, Sugano allowed five runs on nine hits over four innings. Sugano has also now allowed a home run in each of his four starts, but has also managed 15 strikeouts against five walks in 20.2 innings of work. His last outing against the Padres on April 10 saw Sugano allow just two runs on four hits over six innings with three strikeouts on 81 pitches. The Rockies could certainly use a rebound outing for the veteran right-hander. The Padres will send out Walker Buehler (1-1, 4.58 ERA) to take the mound. Buehler got off to a bit of a shaky start to the season through his first two outings, but his start on April 10 against the Rockies seemed to get him back on track. Buehler tossed six shutout innings, allowing just three hits with four strikeouts. In the following outing, he allowed two runs on five hits in five innings against the while striking out seven. The Rockies would likely hope that Buehler would replicate his last outing at Coors Field in 2024. In that game, Buehler allowed seven runs on seven hits in just four innings of work. **First Pitch:** 6:40 pm MDT **TV:** Rockies TV **Radio:** KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM; KNRV 1150 (Spanish) **Padres SB Nation site:** **Lineups:** For the visiting Padres: and the Rockies:
