DENVER (AP) — Brendan Rodgers hit a go-ahead grand slam in a five-run fourth inning, and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres 7-4 for just their second win in 10 games. Colorado trailed 4-1 before Rodgers’ first career slam, a drive into the left-field bleachers on an up-and-in fastball from Michael King with an 0-2 count. Rodgers had not homered since Sept. 29. King allowed six runs _ four earned _ eight hits and three walks in 3 2/3 innings, leaving after a bases-loaded walk to Elehuris Montero. Ezequiel Tovar added an RBI single in the fifth for the Rockies.
