Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts each hit home runs in the fifth inning as the Padres routed the scuffling Rockies 21-0 Saturday.
Jake Cronenworth, Gavin Sheets and Jason Heyward also went deep for San Diego, which set season highs in runs and hits (24) for the second straight game while sending Colorado to its eighth straight loss.
The Padres won 13-9 Friday with a 16-hit attack.
The Rockies, who are 6-33, matched the 1988 Baltimore Orioles for the worst 39-game start in the majors in 130 years. Baltimore finished 54-107 that season.
Stephen Kolek (2-0) tossed a shutout in his second major league start. He cruised through Colorado’s lineup, allowing five hits and striking out seven.
The only time he faced trouble was in the sixth when the Rockies had runners on the corners with one out but he induced Hunter Goodman into an inning-ending double play.

It was a lot of fun to watch,” Kolek said during the Padres’ post-game show on 97.3 the Fan.
Sheets homered off Bradley Blalock (0-2) in the five-run first inning. Blalock took the brunt of the night’s pain, giving up 12 runs in 3.2 innings.
Heyward hit a three-run shot in the fourth when San Diego sent 12 men to the plate and put up eight runs. The Padres scored at least one run through the first six innings.
Jackson Merrill had four hits, going, 4-for-6. He has five straight multi-hit games, tied with Philadelphia’s Trea Turner for the longest active streak in the majors.
Merrill, who missed a month with a right hamstring strain, is batting .538 since returning to the lineup Tuesday.
Elias Díaz and Luis Arraez finished with three hits apiece. Eight batters recorded at least two hits for San Diego and everyone in the starting lineup but Díaz had an RBI in the laugher.
It got so bad for Colorado that catcher Jacob Stallings tossed the final two innings. He gave up a run in the eighth and struck out Díaz looking to start the ninth.
Nick Pivetta (5-1, 2.01 ERA) starts the final game of the series for the Padres while Germán Márquez (0-9, 9.90) will answer the call for the Rockies.
