SAN DIEGO — This high wasn’t going to last forever.
Joe Musgrove failed to complete five innings for the first time this season, the Padres’ overhauled lineup failed to score in the first five innings and a comeback fizzled in a 7-3 loss to the Rockies on Thursday at Petco Park.
The loss ended a five-game winning streak by the Padres, who were seeking the first five-game series sweep in franchise history. They’d never even won four games in their previous 11 five-game series when their deadline acquisitions — headlined by Juan Soto — seemed to help them power through Tuesday’s doubleheader sweep and on Wednesday overwhelm a Colorado team that had won eight of the first 11 meetings this season.
