Troy Tulowitzki hit a three-run homer to highlight a four-run second inning Wednesday, boosting Colorado to a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. The Rays halted Colorado's franchise-record, 11-game winning streak Tuesday and the Rockies ended Tampa Bay's run of six consecutive wins Wednesday. Aaron Cook (6-3) took advantage of the early outburst to get the inter-league victory.

Heath Bell picked up his major league-leading eighth save Tuesday with a scoreless ninth inning to preserve San Diego's 4-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Bell came on in relief of Duaner Sanchez (1-0) who picked up the win by shutting out the Rockies in the eighth despite a bases-loaded jam. Pinch-hitter Luis Rodriguez drove in the winning run in the ninth on a one-out single off Manny Corpas (0-2) that drove in catcher Todd Headley, who had tripled into right field to open the inning. Scott Hairston drove in two runs with a home run in third that staked San Diego to a 2-0 lead. Seth Smith hit a solo shot for the Rockies who had 10 hits in the game and RBIs from Todd Helton and Ryan Spilborgs. Smith's homer in the sixth cut San Diego's lead to 2-1.

Ubaldo Jimenez and the Colorado bullpen shut down the Arizona Diamondbacks Tuesday in a 3-0 Rockies win. Troy Tulowitzki homered in the fifth inning, and Todd Helton and Ian Stewart each drove in a run to provide the Rockies' offense. Jimenez (1-0) scattered four hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.
