SAN DIEGO—David Peralta hit a three-run home run one inning after robbing Sam Hilliard of a longball, and the San Diego Padres beat Colorado 10–2 Sunday for their first series win against the lowly Rockies in three tries this season.

Kyle Higashioka and All-Star Jurickson Profar also homered for the Padres, who had lost five straight games to the Rockies until winning 3–2 on Saturday night. San Diego improved to a major-league-best 11–3 since the All-Star break.
