Tulowitzki had an RBI single in the fifth that gave Colorado a 3-1 lead, but the Padres tied it in the sixth when Chase Headley dashed in from third on a wild pitch and Alberto Gonzalez singled home Brad Hawpe.

It was still a 3-3 contest heading into the ninth, which Carlos Gonzalez opened with a single off closer Heath Bell (2-2). Gonzalez moved to second on a sacrifice, Jonathan Herrera drew an intentional walk and Bell threw a wild pitch that put the runners on second and third.

Tulowitzki followed with a double to right that brought home the winning runs.
