Josh Hader RP | HOU
Padres' Josh Hader: Squanders no-hit bid, salvages win
Hader (1-3) earned his first win of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 victory over Colorado. He allowed two hits with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.
Hader inherited a combined no-hitter when entering the game after Blake Snell and Robert Suarez held the Rockies at bay for the first eight frames. While the no-hit bid was scratched after Hader gave up a leadoff single to Brendan Rodgers, the closer managed to keep the Rockies from scoring and eventually nabbed his first win of 2023. Over his last four appearances (3.1 innings), Hader has surrendered one run on seven hits with a 2:2 K:BB.

Ryan Feltner SP | COL
Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Impressive in return
Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks over five scoreless innings in a 2-0 loss to the Padres. He struck out five.
Feltner made his first appearance since May 13 after being hit in the head by a comebacker and fired off five scoreless innings Tuesday. Encouragingly, Feltner got up to 86 pitches and appeared to be fully stretched out. However, Feltner was never in contention for the win, as the Rockies were no-hit until the ninth inning. The 26-year-old is tentatively scheduled to take the mound Sunday during a road matchup with the Cubs.

The game was scoreless heading into the bottom of the ninth; however, Bogaerts stepped up and launched a two-out, two-run home run to plate Trent Grisham and win the ballgame.

Blake Snell SP | LAD
Padres' Blake Snell: Fires seven hitless frames
Snell did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four walks over seven scoreless innings against Colorado. He struck out 10.
The Padres got another incredible outing from Snell on Tuesday, as he fanned 10 Rockies across seven innings without allowing a single hit. However, the Padres failed to put up any runs until the ninth inning, eradicating Snell's hopes for a fifth consecutive win. Over his last five appearances (32 innings), Snell owns a 0.56 ERA and a 43:17 K:BB. He'll look to continue his hot streak during his next start, which is projected to come against the Giants at Oracle Park early next week.
