SAN FRANCISCO - Michael Cuddyer hit a tiebreaking homer leading off the ninth inning to go with his three-run shot, and the Colorado Rockies rallied from an early six-run deficit to beat the San Francisco Giants 9-8 on Tuesday night. Travis Konecny Flyers Jersey . Cuddyer sent a 3-2 pitch from Sergio Romo into the left-centre seats for his 20th homer of the season, 10th career multihomer game and second this year. He also connected in Colorados five-run fifth to spark the comeback. Hunter Pence produced some impressive slugging himself, hitting a three-run homer in the first, an RBI double in the fourth and a tying, two-run single in the eighth against winner Wilton Lopez (3-4). Pence matched his career high with six RBIs. He also drove in six runs on Aug. 12, 2009, at Florida with Houston. Sergio Romo (4-7) gave up Cuddyers go-ahead homer, though much of the sellout crowd of 41,171 was already long gone by the late innings. The game ended at 11:17 p.m. after 4 hours, 2 minutes. Rex Brothers finished for his 16th save in 18 chances to end the longest nine-inning game of the season for each club. Charlie Blackmon hit a tying double in the sixth after Todd Helton led off with a single against Jose Mijares, then Jean Machi relieved and gave up Ryan Wheelers pinch-hit RBI single. Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa left early as a precaution with left thumb soreness. He was denied a chance to move into a share of the NL lead for wins with Washingtons Jordan Zimmermann, who beat the Mets earlier in the evening at New York. De La Rosas day was done after just two innings for his shortest outing since going 1 2-3 innings on July 31, 2008, at Florida. Next time out, he will try again to match the franchise mark for victories in a season by a left-hander set by teammate Jeff Francis in 2007. Pences 20th home run was a high drive to left that hit the foul pole and ricocheted into the stands. He has six straight 20-homer seasons. Ryan Vogelsong has one win in seven outings since returning Aug. 9 from a broken bone in his pitching hand that sidelined him for 2 1/2 months. He failed to strike out a batter for the third time in 108 career starts — and first time since Sept. 29, 2004, at Philadelphia with the Pirates. De La Rosa, whose 10 victories following a loss by his team lead the majors, was tagged for four runs and four hits. He remains one win from a career high and had his six-start winning streak end with a no-decision. He hasnt lost in seven outings since Aug. 3 at Pittsburgh. It was the Rockies turn to rally a night after losing in 10 innings. D.J. LeMahieu had an RBI single in the fifth for the Rockies to extend his career-best hitting streak to 12 games, and Corey Dickerson also singled in a run that inning ahead of Cuddyers homer. The Rockies left the bases loaded in the second against Vogelsong and hurt their chances with double plays in the first and fourth. Roy Oswalt will start Saturday at Arizona as the Rockies give the 36-year-old righty a chance to earn a job beyond this year. "We think hes a piece going forward," manager Walt Weiss said. "We want to get a good look at Roy down the stretch. We feel good about who he is and his impact on our club in the clubhouse, the way he mentors younger guys." NOTES: Giants manager Bruce Bochy greeted Helton near the batting cage before the game and wished him "good luck" ahead of his expected retirement. "Ive always appreciated how he plays the game," Bochy said. ... San Francisco LHP Jeremy Affeldt, out since July 21 with a strained left groin, is scheduled to be activated from the DL on Wednesday. RHP Chad Gaudin, meanwhile, will likely face hitters once more Thursday in Los Angeles before returning from carpal tunnel syndrome. ... Rockies OF Carlos Gonzalez will get another opinion on the sprained joint in his right middle finger when the team goes to Arizona later this week. He said the specialists he has seen already believe he wont need surgery but rather extended rest during the off-season. Gonzalez returned from the DL on Sept. 3 but hasnt had a plate appearance. He said its "very possible" he wont start or hit in another game this season because "it can get worse on any swing." ... RHP Yusmeiro Petit (3-0) pitches Wednesday afternoons series finale for the Giants after coming within one out of a perfect game Friday night against Arizona. Samuel Morin Jersey . Teams one through twenty competing in Englands top flight are each fatally flawed. A wide-open, highly competitive and mistake-filled season has followed. Dave Schultz Jersey .S. international midfielder Michael Bradley is complete. http://www.hockeyflyersauthentic.com/brian-propp-jersey/ . Scolari says that although Brazilians have the right to complain about the government and demand improvements, perhaps the protests wont be coming at the "right time.It was barely a month ago that the scoring drought of Mario Balotelli was being cited as the chief reason for Liverpools problems this season.Now, the critics are turning their sights away from the maverick Italian and fixing them on manager Brendan Rodgers.A few months ago I was manager of the year, Rodgers said Friday, and now I am favourite to get the sack.Lauded for reviving one of Englands great clubs and steering Liverpool to an unexpected title push last season, Rodgers has found life at Anfield a whole lot tougher over the last four months.After 12 matches in the Premier League, Liverpool is in 12th place and without a win in four games. The team has won just one of its last eight matches in all competitions and needs a victory in its final Champions League group game against FC Basel to qualify for the last 16.There are problems throughout the team.Deprived of the departed Luis Suarez and with Daniel Sturridge out injured since August, the vibrancy and spark that marked Liverpools attacking play last season has disappeared. Balotelli was signed as the big-name replacement for Suarez but he is yet to score in the Premier League and is currently out injured.Liverpools defence continues to be shaky, keeping just two clean sheets in 19 matches this season, and goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has been under scrutiny, with his latest mistake coming in the 2-2 draw witth Ludogorets Razgrad in the Champions League on Wednesday. Oskar Lindblom Flyers Jersey. Rodgers spent more than 100 million pounds ($156 million) over the summer, using the proceeds from the sale of Suarez to Barcelona, but not one of his big-money signings has worked out — yet.The goodwill from Rodgers impressive first two years in charge at Anfield is fading fast.Its a different challenge because everything has been hunky-dory for about 18 months and on the up, Rodgers said. But its a different deck of cards we have this year. Its a different hand that we have been dealt.We havent been on a good run but let that be the making of us. In sport, you get the chance to go again.Some believe Rodgers wont be given time.One British bookmaker has odds of 4-1 for the Northern Irishman to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. Former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar told the BBC that Rodgers has three weeks to turn things around, otherwise the clubs American owners — Fenway Sports Group — could act.Its part and parcel of this wonderful life working in football, said Rodgers, speaking ahead of Saturdays league game against Stoke. Very short-termism thinking. All you can do is focus on the immediate job.If the Premier League reaches Dec. 7 without a managerial change, it will be the third-longest period from the start of a season without a coach moving jobs.
