Stewart's HR in 12th lifts Rockies over Padres

Baseball Betting Lines

05/06/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ian Stewart smacked the game-winning homer in the top of the 12th inning, as the Colorado Rockies snuck past the San Diego Padres, 6-5, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Petco Park.

Tim Stauffer (2-1), who pitched a perfect 10th and 11th, stayed on for the 12th. But Stewart stepped to the plate and blasted a 2-0 changeup over the wall in left to give the Rockies the lead. Colorado went on to put men on first and second, but Stauffer got out of the inning with just the one run.

Manuel Corpas (1-1) tossed 2 2/3 scoreless frames of relief for the Rockies, who recorded their first road series win of the season. Starter Aaron Cook went five frames, allowing five runs on six hits.

Clint Barmes went 3-for-5 with three runs batted in and a run scored for Colorado, which got an RBI apiece from Seth Smith and Melvin Mora.

Kyle Blanks went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored for the Padres, who went 4-3 on a seven-game homestand. Clayton Richard also knocked in a pair of runs in defeat.

Richard allowed three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and five walks in a five-inning start.

In the 10th, the Padres put runners on first and second with one out. Corpas then took over on the mound and retired the first two batters he faced to keep it a tie game.

The Padres got on the board in the second inning. Chase Headley led off with a single, advanced to second on Will Venable's groundout, and scored on Blanks' double to center.

Colorado plated three runs in the third to go in front. Dexter Fowler singled, Troy Tulowitzki walked, and Carlos Gonzalez singled to load the bases with one out. Mora then walked to force in a run. After Miguel Olivo struck out, Barmes hit a two-run single to left. Mora was thrown out trying to advance to third on the play.

San Diego put a four-spot up in the fourth to take a 5-3 lead. With runners on the corners and one out, Blanks and Jerry Hairston Jr. hit back-to-back RBI singles. Two batters later, Richard helped his own cause with a two-run double to left.

The Rockies, though, fought back with two runs in the sixth. Edward Mujica started the frame on the mound and walked Olivo, who crossed the plate on Barmes' double to right. Pinch-hitter Smith then hit an RBI triple to right to make it a 5-5 game. Mujica retired the next two batters before Joe Thatcher was called on to record the last out.

Neither team put together a serious scoring threat over the final few frames, forcing extras.
