Troy Tulowitzki hit a three-run homer for the Rockies, who scored six runs in the ninth.
After Todd Helton doubled in a run with no outs in the ninth off reliever Scott Eyre, Bobby Howry (4-4) was greeted by back-to-back RBI singles from Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe. Then Tulowitzki followed with a three-run homer to put the Rockies ahead 9-8. Howry is the closer while Ryan Dempster is unavailable because of a strained oblique muscle.
After Tulowitzki's homer, a fan charged at Howry. The fan was just a few
feet from the mound before security guards tackled him.
The Cubs came back in the ninth off Rockies closer Brian Fuentes (0-2) in
the ninth to win the game. Mark DeRosa reached on a single, then Rob Bowen
followed with a fielder's choice. Koyie Hill hit a pinch-hit single to left,
and Ryan Theriot reached on an error by Kaz Matsui. With the bases loaded,
Soriano followed with a two-run single, scoring pinch-runner Jacque Jones
and Hill, setting off a wild celebration.
Rookie Mike Fontenot went 5-for-5 with two RBIs, Angel Pagan hit a
three-run homer for the Cubs.
