Padres continue freefall, lose 10th in a row

Baseball Betting Lines

09/05/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Melvin Mora hit a two-run single to snap a seventh-inning tie, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 4-2 win and sending National League West-leading San Diego to a 10th straight loss.

Troy Tulowitzki clubbed a solo home run and added a run-scoring groundout for the Rockies, who have won six of their last nine games to climb within 4 1/2 games of the Padres in the division.

Jorge De La Rosa (6-4) limited San Diego to six hits and two walks over six frames. His lone mistake came in the sixth inning, when Miguel Tejada tied the game with a two-run homer.

Padres starter Clayton Richard did not figure in the decision after he worked six innings, allowing two runs -- one earned -- and nine hits with three walks.

San Diego is in the midst of its longest slump since a franchise-worst 13-game skid from May 8-21, 1994. The Padres also had their lead over second-place San Francisco trimmed to 1 1/2 games. The Giants play in Los Angeles later Sunday.

Tejada's blast erased a 2-0 deficit, but Colorado quickly responded in its next turn at the plate.

Tim Stauffer (3-3) replaced Richard on the mound and struck out Ryan Spilborghs to open the seventh. Stauffer was then lifted in favor of Mike Adams after Carlos Gonzalez singled and Tulowitzki walked.

Following a double steal, Mora stroked a base hit past the drawn-in infield to put the visitors on top.

Matt Belisle retired all six batters he faced in relief of De La Rosa. Huston Street gave up a bunt single to Tejada to begin the ninth, but the Colorado closer struck out three in a row to earn his 15th save.

The Rockies got on the board when Tulowitzki homered to open the fourth. Colorado picked up another run in the fifth. With runners on the corners, Spilborghs scored on Tulowitzki's grounder to third.

Game Notes

Colorado recorded its first series sweep on the road this season...Gonzalez went 3-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to 13 games...Tejada played in the 2,000th game of his career...Colorado has won 11 of its 15 meetings with the Padres in 2010.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
