SAN DIEGO -- The Rockies expected to get a good game out of starter Jorge De La Rosa. Charlie Blackmons contribution was an unexpected surprise. De La Rosa took a one-hit shutout into the sixth inning in beating San Diego for the sixth straight time and Blackmon, recalled from Triple-A on Monday, drove in the winning run and made a spectacular defensive play to help Colorado to a 5-4 win over the Padres on Wednesday night. De La Rosa lifted his record at Petco Park to 3-0 with a 1.88 ERA. His winning streak against San Diego spans eight starts. Blackmon matched a career-high with two RBIs and his triple in the eighth off Padres reliever Nick Vincent gave the Rockies a 5-3 lead. He also had an RBI single in the sixth. Blackmon also made a diving catch on pinch hitter Mark Kotsays sinking liner to centre with two runners on in the Padres sixth after Carlos Quentin had hit a two-run home run off De La Rosa to make it 4-2 and send the Rockies starter to the clubhouse. "With the guys out of the lineup sometimes you got to win games that way," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Its nice to see us do that. Charlie had some big hits and made some big plays. Jonny (Herrera) had a really good series. Any time you win a series in your division on the road its really big." All eight position players for the Rockies had at least one hit and Colorado outhit San Diego 13-7. Herrera drove in the Rockies first run with a sacrifice fly off Andrew Cashner in the second inning. And his drag bunt single led to the Rockies fourth run in the sixth on Blackmons single. The Rockies were leading 4-0 in the sixth when Quentin hit his 11th home run, a two-run shot to straight away centre field, scoring Chase Headley, who had walked. That was all for De La Rosa (9-5), who allowed two hits over five innings with four walks and four strikeouts. "We couldnt get to De La Rosa until Qs homer," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He kept us in check. We couldnt mount any attack against him. He did a good job of keeping the ball down and changing speed. The change/split is a very effective pitch. The fastball, change combo was also effective." San Diegos Everth Cabrera doubled down the left-field line off Rockies reliever Matt Belisle leading off the seventh and came around to score on a single to right by Chris Denorfia, making it 4-3. The Rockies came back with an insurance run in the eighth off Padres reliever Nick Vincent when Blackmon tripled to score pinch hitter Corey Dickerson, who had singled with one out. "Im very thankful that the Rockies got enough faith in me to put me in this position (and) to have an opportunity," Blackmon said. "Im just blessed to be healthy and be here, and it really feels good to help be a part of a team win." Rockies reliever Rex Brothers pitched a scoreless eighth and Rafael Betancourt came on in the ninth to pick up his 13th save in 14 opportunities. Betancourt gave up an RBI single to Headley, who stole second to put the tying run in scoring position with two out. However, Betancourt got Quentin to pop out to first in foul territory to end the game. Cashner (5-5) went five innings for the Padres, giving up three runs, two earned, on eight hits. He struck out five, walked two and threw a wild pitch that led to a Rockies run in the fifth. Herreras sacrifice fly scored Todd Helton in the second. Helton had walked leading off and moved to third on a double by Yorvit Torrealba. Helton drove in the Rockies second run with a single in the third that scored D.J. LeMahieu from second. D.J. LeMahieu, who had two hits, reached on an error by Padres shortstop Cabrera leading off the fifth. Carlos Gonzalez, who returned after missing two games with an injured middle right finger, singled up the middle, nearly hitting Cashner. Michael Cuddyer hit a grounder that forced Gonzalez at second. With runners on first and third, Cashner struck out Helton. However, Cashner uncorked a wild pitch with Nolan Arenado at the plate, allowing LeMahieu to score. The Rockies left 12 runners on base.

You can watch all the action on TSN and TSN Mobile TV beginning at 8pm et/5pm pt. The Braves have been masterful on the mound in the first two contests of this series between division leaders. Tonight, Medlen will face the Cardinals for the first time since he suffered the loss in Atlantas wild card contest in 2012. Medlen gave up just two earned runs in that contest and pitched into the seventh inning, but the Braves didnt give him much run support. The same can be said for Atlantas offense in this series thus far, even though the Braves are on the verge of completing their first three-game home sweep of the Cardinals for the first time since April 22-24, 2003. The NL East leaders followed a 4-1 win Friday night with a 2-0 triumph yesterday afternoon. Medlen will try to end a three-start skid tonight. In that span hes given up 24 hits and 14 earned runs covering 14 2/3 innings with losses to the Mets, Reds and Phillies. Hes pitched five times in the regular season against the Cardinals, but all of those appearances came in relief. Shelby Miller tries to win his third straight decision when he gets the ball tonight for the NL Central leaders. The 22-year-old right-hander, who will face Atlanta for the first time, blanked the Phillies over six innings on Tuesday in a 4-1 victory. Miller is the first Cardinals rookie since Jaime Gaarcia (2010) to record 10 wins, and the first righty rookie since Jason Simontacchi (2002).dddddddddddd Andrelton Simmons two-out, bases-loaded double in the eighth inning was the difference in yesterdays win for the Braves. Randy Choate (1-1) started the eighth by walking Freddie Freeman. He struck out Evan Gattis before Brian McCann chased him from the mound with a base hit to center. Trevor Rosenthal fanned Dan Uggla then walked Chris Johnson to load the bases. Simmons clutch line drive to center gave the Braves a 2-0 lead. "I dont really feel bad about the way I pitched, its just disappointing to leave them on," said Choate. "They just laid off some good pitches." Luis Avilan (3-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning to earn the win after relieving Julio Teheran, who scattered just two hits over seven stellar frames. Craig Kimbrel worked a 1-2-3 ninth to collect his 30th save. "Its a big win every time we beat a team like that," said Johnson. "We have a tremendous about of respect for the ball club over there, anytime you can beat them youre doing things right." Matt Holliday and Jon Jay each had doubles for the only hits of the day for the Cardinals, who have lost their last two after winning four straight games. Cardinals starter Joe Kelly, who hadnt pitched since July 12, had an effective outing. He scattered seven hits with three walks over 6 1/3 innings. Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran is now 2-for-22 since the All-Star break. The Braves won the 2012 season series, 5-1. ' ' '
