DENVER (AP) - 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 to win for just the fourth time in 17 games.
Isringhausen (1-3) allowed pinch-hitter Ryan Spilborghs' run-scoring single before Iannetta, making his fourth straight start behind the plate in place of Yorvit Torrealba, sliced a triple into the right-field corner on the first pitch he saw.
Ryan Speier (1-1) picked up the win with a scoreless inning of relief, and Brian Fuentes picked up his third save in five chances.
