Wil Myers homered and Garrett Richards led a committee of pitchers that scattered seven hits as the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 6-0 on Monday night.

Even as San Diego capped a series of roster additions ahead of Monday’s trade deadline, it was mostly holdovers providing the pitching and pop in the Padres’ latest victory.

Richards, who could not get out of the first inning in his last start Thursday against Seattle, returned to pitch on fewer than four days' rest for just the third time in his career. He went the first 3 2/3 innings before giving way to Adrian Morejon (1-0), who allowed four hits in three innings and had a pair of strikeouts in picking up his first major league win.

Daniel Murphy’s seventh-inning double represented the only extra-base hit for the Rockies, who lost a fourth consecutive home series. It was the second time this season they were shut out and the first time at home.

The Padres did offer a glimpse of their remade roster, starting newly acquired first baseman/designated hitter Mitch Moreland and catcher Austin Nola. Back-end reliever Trevor Rosenthal was available in the bullpen and came on to pitch the ninth.

All three were acquired as part of six trades since Saturday involving 27 players, 10 of whom along with a player to be named wound up with the Padres. San Diego is making a push over the final four weeks of the pandemic-shortened season to end a playoff drought stretching back to 2006.

He went the first 3 2/3 innings before giving way to Adrian Morejon (1-0), who allowed four hits in three innings and had a pair of strikeouts in picking up his first major league win.

Pierce Johnson, Drew Pomeranz and Rosenthal finished up.

Colorado starter German Marquez (2-5) lost a career-high fourth consecutive decision. He went six innings and allowed five runs on eight hits, including Myers’ ninth home run leading off the fourth.
