Padres ride offense and bullpen to 7-2 win, sweep Rockies as Pivetta exits with elbow stiffness

San Diego completed a four-game sweep of Colorado with a 7-2 victory at Petco Park, but Nick Pivetta left in the fourth inning with elbow stiffness after a strong start. The Padres’ offense got a homer from Ty France and continued big contributions from Ramón Laureano and Jackson Merrill, while the bullpen held the Rockies to two runs after the injury. Pivetta’s status is day-to-day, with potential replacements like Matt Waldron or Griffin Canning in the mix if he misses time; San Diego improved to 10-6 and extended its win streak to five.
