Denver, CO - Padres comes through in extra innings against the Rockies. Padres outfielder Will Venable gives Padres the go-ahead run in the 12th inning.

Padres pitcher Clayton Richard gets his first start of the season against the Colorado Rockies and it didn't last long. Brad Hawpe greeted Richard with a 2-run home run to right field in the 1st inning to give the Rockies an early lead. Scott Hairston sparked the Padres offense and eventually gives the Padres the lead in the 3rd inning. Padres lead didn't last, in the bottom of the 4th inning, Troy Tulowitzki hit a 3-run double to give the Rockies the lead. Padres came back and rally in the 7th. Adrian Gonzalez hit the go-ahead run sending Everth Cabrera home.

Padres summoned the always reliable Mike Adams to pitch the 8th inning. Rockies came through against Mike Adams in the 8th with the help of Troy Tulowitzki. Tulowitzki send home the runner from 3rd to tied the game in the 8th. Base was loaded for Rockies clean up hitter Brad Hawpe. Hawpe singled to center sending 2 runners home to give the Rockies the lead in the 8th inning.

In the 9th inning, Padres gets back to Rockies closer Huston Street. Adrian Gonzalez tied the game in the 9th to take the game to extra innings. Top of the 12 inning, Will Venable comes through in the clutch hitting an RBI double to give the Padres the lead. Padres get 2 more runs after that off Joe Beimel.
