Vasquez allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Friday.
Vasquez was responsible for Brendan Rodgers' solo home run in the second inning, but he left with the lead before the Padres' bullpen melted down in the sixth. Aside from a six-run fiasco versus Baltimore in his previous start, Vasquez has been good lately -- he's allowed two runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings. He's pitched to a 4.62 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 50:21 K:BB through 76 innings over 16 starts on the year. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at Miami, though he would be on regular rest for the last two games in next week's earlier series at Pittsburgh if Michael King (calf) doesn't recover as quickly as expected following his exit from his start last Saturday in Baltimore.
