Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Todd Helton went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer,
as the Colorado Rockies hung on to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 9-6, in the
second game of a three-game set at Chase Field.
Helton had three RBI and three runs scored for the Rockies, who snapped a
four-game skid. Brad Hawpe added two RBI and scored once.
Starting Colorado pitcher Franklin Morales was pulled after two innings due to
a neck/shoulder injury. Matt Belisle (1-0) tossed 1 2/3 innings of scoreless
relief to pick up the win. Manny Corpas pitched a scoreless ninth to collect
his first save of the season.
Mark Reynolds, Chris Young, and Eric Byrnes each hit home runs for the
Diamondbacks, who won 6-3 in the opening game of the series on Monday. Conor
Jackson went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored.
Yusmeiro Petit made his second major-league start and picked up a no-decision
after five innings of work for Arizona. He allowed three runs -- two earned --
on eight hits. Juan Gutierrez (0-1) gave up a run on two hits in 1 1/3 innings
of relief to take the loss.
Ahead 7-6 in the eighth, Helton belted a two-run homer to give Colorado a
three-run lead. With one out, Helton drove a Gutierrez pitch over the right-
field wall to score Dexter Fowler, who led off with a double.
Jason Grilli and Alan Embree took turns on the mound in the eighth, while
Corpas came in to close the game in the ninth for the Rockies.
The Rockies drew first blood with two runs in the top of the second. Clint
Barmes' single to right field with two outs moved Hawpe to second. Back-
to-back singles to center from Yorvit Torrealba and Morales scored Hawpe and
Barmes, respectively.
The Diamondbacks responded with a pair of runs in the home half, as Young and
Byrnes mashed back-to-back homers.
Colorado added a run in the top of the third to regain the lead. With
runners on first and third and one out, Stewart singled to right field to
knock in Todd Helton.
Arizona fought back with two runs in the bottom of the inning to grab a 4-3
lead. Augie Ojeda doubled to center to score Felipe Lopez, who led off with a
single. Ojeda moved to third on the play because of a throwing error from
center fielder Fowler. Jackson singled to knock in Ojeda, but Glendon Rusch
retired the next three batters to prevent further damage.
The Diamondbacks used a two-run homer from Reynolds in the fifth to extend
their margin to 6-3.
The Rockies rocked three different Arizona pitchers in the sixth to plate four
runs. Omar Quintanilla doubled to center after Torrealba led off with a walk.
Fowler earned a free pass to load the bases for Ryan Spilborghs, who grounded
into a double play, plating Torrealba.
Doug Slaten took over the mound and Helton's single to left field brought home
Quintanilla. Gutierrez entered from the bullpen and Garrett Atkins greeted him
with a double. Hawpe's single to center knocked in Helton and Atkins.

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds
With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
Quinn isn’t the only big man on campus this season. Oklahoma junior running back and 2004 Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson, listed at 7-2, rushed for a combined 3,033 yards in his first two years as a college player and will give Quinn a run for his money.
This online sportsbook has also listed Troy Smith, Ohio State senior quarterback, as another strong favorite to win the 72nd Heisman Trophy. A 7-1 bet, Smith threw for 2,282 yards last season and also led the Buckeyes to a convincing 34-20 victory over Quinn and the Fighting Irish in last season’s Fiesta Bowl.
Current betting odds Heisman trophy are:
Brady Quinn (QB, Notre Dame)
Adrian Peterson (RB, Oklahoma)
Troy Smith (QB, Ohio State)
