DENVER (AP) -- 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.

Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a two-run triple, Eric Hosmer had an RBI double and Jurickson Profar delivered an RBI single among his three hits, helping the Padres take three of four in the series.

It was San Diego's fifth shutout in Denver and first since April 12, 2017.
