HOUSTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Chris Nelson drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded walk in the 13th inning Saturday, handing the Colorado Rockies a 4-2 victory over Houston.

Houston's Jordan Lyles (2-8) walked Tommy Field to lead off the 13th and Eric Young followed with a single. After Mark Ellis grounded out, Dexter Fowler was intentionally walked to load the bases.

Lyles then unintentionally walked Nelson to make 3-2 and, after Aneury Rodriguez relieved, pinch-hitter Wilin Rosario drove in another Rockies run with a sacrifice fly.

Matt Reynolds (1-2) earned the win with a scoreless 12th inning and Rafael Betancourt logged a 1-2-3 bottom of the 13th to collect his seventh save as the Rockies took their first win in a four-game series.

Brett Wallace socked a solo homer for the Astros.
