Denver, Oct. 1: Todd Helton hit a two-run homer to give Colorado the lead Wednesday and the Rockies moved to the brink of a playoff berth with a 10-6 win over Milwaukee.

Colorado eliminated San Francisco from playoff contention and took a four-game lead over Atlanta in the National League wild-card race with four games remaining.

A win by the Rockies or a loss by the Braves during the final four days of the season will give Colorado its second post-season berth in three years.

Colorado is also still in the hunt for the National League West title, having started the night 3 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.
