DENVER, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Omar Quintanilla's 12th-inning home run boosted the Colorado Rockies to a 4-3 come-from-behind win Sunday over the Cincinnati Reds.

Colorado, winner of seven of its last nine games, erased a 3-1 deficit with runs scored on a wild pitch in the seventh inning and Brad Hawpe's sacrifice fly in the ninth.

Cris Dickerson homered in the Reds' third loss in four games.

Rockies' relief pitchers combined for six shutout innings. Ryan Speier (2-1) pitched the 12th and picked up the win.

The loser was Mike Lincoln (1-5), victim of Quintanilla's game-winning blast.
