HOUSTON, June 3 (UPI) -- Miguel Tejada hit a long home run off Josh Fogg in the 11th inning Tuesday to hand Houston a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

The blast off Fogg (0-1) with one out capped a 4-for-6 night for Tejada in which he drove in all three Houston runs and recorded his sixth career walk-off homer.

Lance Berkman and Michael Bourn both had a pair of hits for the Astros, who won their third consecutive game. Russ Ortiz (3-2) pitched the 11th inning for the win.

Houston rallied from a 2-0 deficit to send the game into extra innings. Colorado put up two runs in the fourth on back-to-back doubles by Todd Helton and Brad Hawpe that made it 1-0, followed by an RBI single by Smith.

But Houston cut the Rockies' lead to 2-1 in the fifth inning when Bourn doubled with two outs and then raced home on a hard shot by Tejada off the glove of shortstop Omar Quintanilla.

Tejada tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a looping single to right that brought in Ivan Rodriguez from third.
