Cincinnati, July 31: Chris Iannetta and Carlos Gonzalez hit homers on consecutive pitches in the eighth inning Friday, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 5-3 victory over Cincinnati.

The Reds, fast fading from contention in the National League Central, lost their fourth in a row.

Colorado never trailed, but saw the Reds rally to tie it in the sixth on solo homers by Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. It was the 16th homer of the year for both players.

David Weathers (2-3) came on for Cincinnati with the score knotted at 3-3 in the eighth and he quickly got two strikes on Iannetta. After working the count full, Iannetta homered to left-center to give the Rockies the lead. He also contributed a sacrifice fly in the third.

Denver, July 26: Aaron Cook won his seventh straight decision Sunday, helping Colorado record a 4-2 victory against San Francisco.

Cook (10-3) gave up two runs and nine hits in seven innings before Franklin Morales fanned two of the three batters he faced in the eighth, and closer Huston Street earned his 25th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.

Cook has not lost since June 1 at Houston.

Troy Tulowitzki's sacrifice fly broke 1-1 tie with one out in the bottom of the third.

Yorvit Torrealba had two hits and one RBI, while Brad Hawpe and Ian Stewart also had one RBI for the Rockies, who have won seven of 10.

San Diego, July 18: Clint Barmes homered as the second batter of the game Friday and the Colorado Rockies limited San Diego to three hits in downing the Padres 5-3.

All three San Diego hits came off Ubaldo Jimenez (7-9), who struck out 10 over seven innings. Franklin Morales and Huston Street combined to work two perfect innings, with Street earning his 23rd save.

Josh Geer (1-5) started for San Diego and retired leadoff man Dexter Fowler in the first on a failed bunt attempt. Barmes then put Colorado in front for good by hitting a homer in his second straight game.

A bases-loaded single by Chris Iannetta in the third added two runs and Ian Stewart had a two-run double in the fifth.
