Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
DENVER, April 6 (UPI) -- Stephen Drew hit a tie-breaking home run in the top of the 10th inning Sunday and the Arizona Diamondbacks topped the Colorado Rockies 5-2.
Arizona scored two more runs after Drew led off the inning with his second home run in the new season, to complete its first sweep at Coors Field since July 7-9, 2006.
Colorado handed closer Manny Corpas a 1-0 lead in the top of the ninth but Mark Reynolds' two-run homer gave the D-Backs a 2-1 lead.
Matt Holliday's solo shot tied things at 2-2 before Arizona's game-winning spurt.
Alex Romero drove in a run while both Reynolds and Orlando Hudson had two hits for Arizona.
The winning pitcher was Brandon Lyon (1-1) despite his second blown save. Chad Qualls recorded his first save.
The losing pitcher Micah Bowie (0-1), normally a starter, took the loss in his first relief appearance.
