(MLB.com San Diego Padres)

The Padres placed a daunting task before Eric Lauer on Monday night, asking their 22-year-old pitching prospect to conquer the Rockies and Coors Field in his Major League debut. The Padres` No. 12 prospect was summarily knocked around over three-plus innings in an 8-0 loss to the Rockies. He allowed seven runs (six earned) on six hits and four walks, while striking out three.
