Trevor Story is definitely the story of the early season: the Rockies SS hits two more homers today, to give him six in first four career games. He is the first player to go deep in his first four games, and he already was the first to do so in his first three. But the Padres, who extend their record for being held scoreless from the start of the season to 30 innings, finally get on the board in the 4th, and eventually break through for a 13 – 6 win, spoiling Colorado’s home opener. Matt Kemp and Melvin Upton hit homers, and Kemp and Yangervis Solarteeach drive in four runs.
