Rockies Rally Past Cardinals

Posted May 8, 08 12:13 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – The Rocktober magic returned to Coors Field at least for a night. Chris Iannetta tripled home two runs off Jason Isringhausen to cap a four-run eighth-inning rally and carry the slumping Colorado Rockies past the stunned St. Louis Cardinals 4-3 on Wednesday night. After managing just four hits off Adam Wainwright in seven innings, the Rockies rallied against St. Louis' bullpen.

It was just their fourth win in 17 games. Omar Quintanilla started the rally by singling off Kyle McClellan with one out, and Matt Holliday tripled him home. Left-hander Randy Flores came in and got Todd Helton to fly out to third before Garrett Atkins drew a walk after his high foul ball fell harmlessly to the dirt when first baseman Albert Pujols tried to bare-hand it as it drifted back into the field.
