tah Jazz, one of the leagues other winless teams, 97-87 on

SAN DIEGO -- Eric Stults is all too familiar with low-scoring games. Winning one was the surprising part. Stults pitched effectively into the seventh inning and the San Diego Padres won their fifth straight overall by beating the Colorado Rockies 1-0 Monday night. For the 12th time this season, the Padres scored no more than one run when Stults started. This was the first time he cashed it in for a victory. "It was nice to get that early run and to go out there and try to make it stand up," Stults said. Stults (8-17), tied with Philadelphia right-hander A.J. Burnett for the major league lead in losses, scattered seven hits and a walk over 6 1-3 innings in beating the Rockies for the first time this season following two defeats. Kevin Quackenbush worked the ninth for his sixth save, ending Colorados season-high, six-game winning streak. San Diego went ahead in the first inning when Rene Riveras double scored Jedd Gyorko, who walked. It was Riveras fifth RBI and third double in four games. Rockies starter Tyler Matzek (6-11) struck out eight in six innings. He allowed one run, four hits and three walks. "He can do a variety of things," Colorado manager Walt Weiss said. "Hes got some weapons." To open the eighth, Padres left fielder Tommy Medica misplayed Justin Morneaus fly ball into a double, and Dale Thayer relieved Frank Garces. Thayer got Michael Cuddyer and Corey Dickerson to pop up and retired Michael McKenry on a fly to centre. "That was impressive, as his high fastball beat some of their bats," Padres manager Bud Black said. "They couldnt get on top of the high heater." After DJ LeMahieus one-out single in the seventh chased Stults, he was replaced by Nick Vincent. Pinch-hitter Drew Stubbs struck out and, after Charlie Blackmon singled, Vincent retired Josh Rutledge on a fly to right. "The bullpen did a good job like it has all year," Stults said. The Padres could have extended their 1-0 lead in the sixth when they loaded the bases with one out on Riveras second hit and walks to Gyorko and Yasmani Grandal. Matzek, however, struck out Medica and Rymer Liriano. The Rockies had an opportunity in the fifth inning when Blackmon walked with two outs to load the bases, following singles by Rafael Ynoa and LeMahieu. Stults struck out Rutledge on one his quickest fastballs, at 90 mph, to retire the side. Stults wiggled out of trouble in the second after giving up one-out singles to Dickerson and McKenry. Ynoa popped up and LeMahieu struck out. The Padres are 32-19 in one-run games, the best record in the majors. "Hes pitched a lot of games like this and didnt get the win," Black said of Stults. "He got it today." TRAINERS ROOM Padres: RHP Tyson Ross, bothered by a sore right forearm, wont pitch again this year. His last start came at Arizona on Sept. 13 when he gave up six runs (four earned) and five hits in three innings. UP NEXT Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa (14-11, 4.61 ERA) will tie a career high Tuesday when he makes his 32nd start of the season, his second straight year with at least 30. Hell face Padres LHP Robbie Erlin (4-4, 4.53), who is looking for his second consecutive win as he makes his second start since May 17 at Colorado. HOME SWEET HOME With the win, the Padres tied their best showing at Petco Park with 47 victories. That matches the standard set by the 2007 club. The Padres will end their home schedule on Wednesday, after two more games with the Rockies.
