SAN DIEGO, April 18 (UPI) -- Troy Tulowitzki's 22nd-inning RBI double lifted Colorado to a 2-1 win over San Diego Thursday in the major leagues' longest extra-inning game in 15 years.
Tulowitzki's hit off Glendon Rusch scored Willy Taveras, who had reached base on a throwing error by Padres' shortstop Khalil Green and advanced to third.

The game, which lasted six hours, 16 minutes, was the longest since Minnesota defeated Cleveland in 22 innings Aug. 31, 1993.
Kip Wells (1-0), the Rockies' eighth pitcher of the contest, was the winning pitcher.
