Wallace wins it in 9th for Padres, 2-1 over Rockies

colorado-rockiesSAN DIEGO (AP) — Brett Wallace’s fielder’s choice grounder drove in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth as the San Diego Padres beat the Colorado Rockies 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Corey Spangenberg doubled to lead off the ninth against Boone Logan (0-3) and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by pinch-hitter Clint Barmes.

Wallace followed with a ground ball to shortstop Jose Reyes, who threw home but Spangenberg beat the throw.

The win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Padres.

Colorado’s Nolan Arenado tied the game in the ninth with a two-out, solo home run to left off Craig Kimbrel (2-2). The blown save is Kimbrel’s third of the year.

San Diego pitchers had retired 16 straight before Arenado’s league-leading 37th home run.
