09/04/2010 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Helton and Carlos Gonzalez both knocked in two runs to help the Colorado Rockies send the spiraling San Diego Padres to a ninth straight loss with a 6-2 win at PETCO Park.

Adrian Gonzalez and Nick Hundley both doubled home a run for San Diego, while Jon Garland (13-10) allowed three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits and three walks over 4 2/3 innings.

Down 3-1, the Padres picked up a run in the seventh. Chase Headley singled to open the inning, took second on a groundout and scored on Hundley's double to right field.

The Rockies put the game away with a three-spot against San Diego reliever Luke Gregerson in the eighth. Gregerson retired two of the first three batters, but the third out proved to be elusive.

Clint Barmes walked to put runners on the corners, then Dexter Fowler reached on an infield single to plate Ryan Spilborghs. Carlos Gonzalez followed with a two-run double to right to give Colorado a 6-2 lead.

Adrian Gonzalez staked San Diego to an early lead with an RBI double in the first, but the Rockies moved ahead in the third.

Colorado loaded the bases with two outs in fifth, and increased its lead to 3-1 when Spilborghs reached on a fielding error by shortstop Everth Cabrera.
