The Rockies struck first when Michael McKenry hit his 7^th home run of the year. Justin Morneau added another home run as it was 4-0 Rockies after 3 innings. The Padres started to fight back in the 4^th when Jedd Gyorko singled home Yangervis Solarte to make it 4-1. Tommy Medica hit his first home run in a while in the 5^th inning. His 8^th homer of the year made it 4-2. With the score 6-2, Gyorko again drove in a run with his 12^th double of the season. Then the rookie Cory Spangenberg hit his 2^nd career home run to bring the Padres within one in the 7^th inning. Seth Smith came through in the 8^th with a game-tying single. The game went into extra innings.

In the bottom of the 12^th, Drew Stubbs finally sent everyone home with a walk-off single to left, scoring DJ LeMahieu. Joe Wieland made a start for the Padres but he didn’t last long, only going 2.1 innings and allowing 4 runs.
