Rockies blow 3-run lead in ninth but win in 11
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 01 - 10 - 2009

hitter Chris Iannetta hit a two-run homer off David Weathers in the 11th inning to give the Colorado Rockies a 7-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Tuesday.
Iannetta sent a 3-2 fastball into the Rockies' bullpen in right-center for his 16th homer and first career game-ending drive.
The Rockies widened their NL wild-card lead to three games over Atlanta with five games remaining.
Jason Kendall hit a three-run homer off closer Huston Street with one out in the ninth to tie it at 5-5.
Matt Belisle (3-1), the seventh Rockies pitcher, picked up the win with a 1-2-3 11th. Weathers (4-6) walked Brad Hawpe and got pinch-hitter Jason Giambi to pop out before Iannetta connected.
Padres 3, Dodgers 1: At San Diego, Tony Gwynn Jr. homered and Kevin Kouzmanoff singled in the go-ahead run as San Diego kept the Dodgers from clinching their second straight NL West title.
The Dodgers have lost three straight since securing a playoff spot on Saturday night. Colorado didn't do the Dodgers any favors, beating Milwaukee 7-5 in 11 innings.
Tuesday's results forced the Dodgers to keep on ice the champagne they'd lugged with them from Pittsburgh, where they lost three of four to the Pirates, the NL's second-worst team.
Phillies 7, Astros 4: At Philadelphia, Pedro Feliz hit a grand slam as Philadelphia moved closer toward third straight NL League title with a victory over Houston.
The defending World Series champions reduced their magic number for winning the division to one after Atlanta lost.
J.A. Happ (12-4) allowed four runs – three earned – and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings, striking out six.
Jayson Werth hit a two-run homer and Philadelphia's injury-plagued bullpen tossed 3 1-3 scoreless innings.
Marlins 5, Braves 4: At Atlanta, Jorge Cantu hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning as Florida damaged Atlanta's playoff hopes and snapped the Braves' seven-game winning streak.
Other results: Reds 7, Cardinals 2; Nationals 4, Mets 3.
