SAN DIEGO (AP) Just 14 games in, this season is already starting to look a lot like last year for the San Diego Padres.

The Padres continue to get steady pitching that keeps them in most games, but they can't muster much of an offensive attack to consistently win. San Diego reached Juan Nicasio for two runs in the first inning before the right-hander rebounded to pitch six solid innings in the Colorado Rockies' 3-2 win Tuesday night.

The Padres' first four batters reached base with a hit and took a 2-0 lead before Nicasio escaped further trouble with an inning-ending double play.
