PHOENIX, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- Ubaldo Jimenez limited Arizona to a run and five hits in seven innings Sunday, keying a 5-1 Colorado Rockies' victory.

Jason Giambi's two-run homer gave Colorado a 5-1 lead with two outs in the top of the eighth.

Starter Dan Haren drove in a run with a second-inning single for the Diamondbacks, who have lost three of four.

Haren (14-9), the losing pitcher, surrendered five runs and eight hits in eight innings with two walks and seven strikeouts.
