Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
DENVER, Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Troy Tulowitzki scored the game-winner on a bases-loaded wild pitch in the 10th inning Wednesday, handing Colorado a 7-6 decision over Houston.
Tulowitzki drew a one-out walk from Aneury Rodriguez (1-5) in the 10th and went to third on Jonathan Herrera's pinch-hit single.
After Kevin Kouzmanoff was intentionally walked, Rodriguez was facing Eliezer Alfonzo when he uncorked a pitch that bounced away from Astros catcher Carlos Corporan, allowing Tulowitzki (2-for-3, two RBI) to trot home with the winning run.
The rally made a winner of Matt Belisle (9-4), who pitched a scoreless top of the 10th. The Rockies' bullpen combined for five shutout innings as Colorado swept a three-game set at Coors Field.
Carlos Gonzalez drove in three runs with a two-run homer and an RBI single while Mark Ellis went 4-for-5 for the Rockies.
Clint Barmes homered, Brian Bogusevic went 3-for-4 with an RBI and Jimmy Paredes drove in a pair for the Astros.
