DENVER (AP) - Troy Tulowitzki drove in four runs, including a tying two-run single in Colorado's five-run seventh inning, and the Rockies rallied past the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-7 Thursday night.
Tulowitzki delivered against Mike MacDougal and pinch-hitter Jason Giambi drew a bases-loaded walk to break the 7-7 tie as the Rockies sent 11 batters to the plate in the seventh.
With the rally, Matt Reynolds stood to get the win, but because he was ineffective - three earned runs and four hits in one inning, the official scorer gave the victory to Rafael Betancourt (2-0), who pitched a perfect eighth.
Scott Elbert (0-1) recorded just one out while picking up the loss, yielding two earned runs and a hit.
