San Diego Padres defeat Colorado Rockies to extend winning streak to eight

The San Diego Padres secured their eighth consecutive victory on Monday night, defeating the Colorado Rockies 8-7 at Coors Field. The win marks the team's longest winning streak of the season.

Ty France, who was activated from the paternity list on Monday afternoon, contributed significantly to the win. France went 3-for-5 at the plate and hit a crucial RBI single in the seventh inning to maintain the Padres' lead after the Rockies had narrowed the gap to a single run.

With this victory, the Padres hold a three-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the race for the final National League Wild Card spot.
