Denver, CO - Padres complete 3-game sweep to Rockies at Coors Field. Former Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba went 3-for-4 and drove in 2 runs to beat his former team 7-6.

San Diego Padres continues winning ways against Rockies, taking care of business in Colorado to extend win streak to 5 games. Padres catcher -- and former Rocky -- Yorvit Torrealba sparked Padres offense in the 2nd inning with an RBI double to put the Padres ahead early 2-0. Adrian Gonzalez, Kyle Blanks, and Will Venable add more runs on the board for the Padres in the 4th inning, cashed in 4 more runs.

Troy Tulowitzki took Jon Garland deep to left field with a two-run home run in the 6th inning to avoid the shutout for the Rockies, but It didn't end there. In the 9th inning, Padres pitcher Tim Stauffer was clobbered in relief. Stauffer allowed 4 runs in the 9th inning. With 2 outs and runners in 2nd and 3rd, Padres summoned Heath Bell out of the pen. Bell got the final out on 2nd pitch to Troy Tulowitzki to end Rockies rally in the 9th, to what could have been the tying and winning run on 2nd and 3rd. Bell earned his 2nd save of the season.

Padres will host the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park on Monday afternoon. Chris Young is the probable pitcher for the Padres against the veteran Tim Hudson for the Braves.
