SAN DIEGO - The Colorado Rockies know how to make the most of their trips to spacious Petco Park. wholesale nfl jerseys . Dexter Fowler had three hits and scored twice, and the Rockies won 5-4 on Saturday night to hand the San Diego Padres their ninth consecutive loss The Rockies, who were swept in their previous series against NL West-leading Arizona, won for the 12th time in 15 games at San Diego. Colorado is 6-2 at Petco this season. "Its not a hitters ballpark, but ultimately, its not that bad," Colorado catcher Chris Iannetta said. "Home runs to right field, even to centre field, for righties are nonexistent. But the hits are there. You just have to make sure you get good swings." Troy Tulowitzki and Todd Helton each had two hits and a drove in a run for the Rockies, who finished with 11 hits. "I think we did some very, very good things offensively," manager Jim Tracy said. Fowler, who tripled in the series opener on Friday night, had a pair of doubles and has six extra-base hits in his last four games. The speedy centre fielder has 26 extra-base hits in 47 games since being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on July 15. Alex White (1-1) earned his first win since he was acquired from Cleveland in the Ubaldo Jimenez trade. He allowed four runs and five hits in five innings. "He once again battled and when they nicked him to get the game to 5-4, I liked the way he stayed tall," Tracy said. "Hes a young 23-year-old kid and I promise you between now and the end of the year, youre going to see his best command game. When you do, its going to be a dynamic performance." Josh Roenicke, Rex Brothers, Huston Street and Rafael Betancourt each worked a scoreless inning after White left. Betancourt finished for his sixth save in 10 chances. "Theyve been doing a really good job," Iannetta said. "They had a little bit of adversity throughout the course of year when the starters were not going deep into games. That puts a lot of pressure on your bullpen. But this is what we expect out of them." Will Venable homered for San Diego, which hasnt won since it beat San Francisco 7-5 on Aug. 23. Venable, Jesus Guzman and Nick Hundley had two hits apiece. Colorado scored three runs in the fourth inning to grab the lead for good. Tulowitzki led off with a double to right against Cory Luebke (5-8) and scored on Heltons single to centre. Ryan Spilborghs added an RBI double and Iannetta hit a sacrifice fly to give the Rockies a 4-2 lead. Fowler started the Colorado fifth with a single and scored on Tulowitzkis base hit. "Ive got to get the leadoff man out," Luebke said. "Both those innings, their guys led off with doubles. That makes it a little harder." Guzman hit a two-run double in the bottom half of the fifth to get San Diego within one, but the Padres were unable to complete the comeback. San Diego is mired in its longest losing streak since a 10-game slide last summer that started its collapse after leading the NL West for much of the season. Luebke (5-8) gave up five runs and eight hits in 4 1-3 innings. "I just wasnt consistent," Luebke said. "I couldnt locate my fastball. Thats always been a key to my success, getting ahead. I didnt really give us a chance." Venable led off the first with his sixth homer. It was his fourth career leadoff homer, all this season. Venable also doubled and scored on Guzmans double in the fifth. NOTES: San Diego is 18-34 against the NL West and .500 against both the East and Central. ...

SOCHI – Just to prove theyre not always inseparable, Anaheim Ducks Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry were about 175 feet apart as the Canadian mens Olympic hockey team wrapped up its practice on Wednesday. Perry was down in one end, working on his stickhandling, deftly displaying his soft hands as he manoeuvred a puck through a jumble of other pucks. Getzlaf was standing in front of the crease in the other end, showing off his eye-hand coordination as he deflected in shots from the point. Soon afterwards, however, the two of them walked back together to the Athletes Village and chatted about Canadas Olympic tournament opener against Norway on Thursday (Noon, ET). Getzlaf and Perry were side by side. Now thats a scene familiar to their Ducks teammates. Thats why theyre called the twins in Anaheim. "We just hit it off early in our careers," Perry said, in explaining why Getzlaf to Perry has become a common refrain for NHL play-by-play men since they busted on the scene together back in October 2005. "Weve become close off the ice and I think thats why weve been so good for each other on the ice. Hes the guy who makes plays and carries the puck. Im more of an up-and-down player who goes to the net. Someone has to go to the net." Championship combo That combination has produced a Stanley Cup championship in 2006-07, an Olympic gold in Vancouver four years ago, Rocket Richard Trophy and Hart Trophy for Perry in 2010-11, and who knows what will happen in Sochi. On the road, there arent many times Getzlaf and Perry are apart. They sit together on buses and planes, at team dinners and beside each other in the Ducks dressing room. They get along like brothers and that means they occasionally get sick of each other, too. "Thats why we go our separate ways at home and dont see much of each other," Perry said with a chuckle. "He has a family. So we know this a good time to give each other space." Getzlaf was born in Regina on May 10, 1985, and six days later Perry arrived into the world in Peterborough, Ont. Neither recalls the first time they met each other, but it was back in 2002 at the CCanadian under-18 summer camp. nfl jerseys china. Perry made the team, scored five times in five games and helped Canada win the old Eight Nations Cup. Getzlaf was left at home. The following spring, it was Getzlaf who played for Canada and won gold at the under-18 world championship while Perry was busy with the London Knights playoff drive. But they would meet again at the 2003 NHL entry draft in Nashville. The Ducks selected Getzlaf 19th, and then snatched Perry with the 28th overall selection. "Thats the first time I remember meeting [Perry]," Getzlaf recalled. "We met later that evening. But we didnt talk that much." Friendship takes off The talk picked up after that. They went to the Ducks training camp in 2003, the Canadian world junior summer camp in Calgary in 2004. They both made that team, but they played on different lines. Perry was with Sidney Crosby and Patrice Bergeron. Getzlaf played between Andrew Ladd and Jeff Carter. "Id say that was when we really got to know each other and the friendship started to take off," Perry said. "We were both Anaheim draft picks and we started to hang out more with each other." A few months after Getzlaf and Perry celebrated world junior gold together, Perry went on to win the Memorial Cup in London and Getzlaf would get an early start on his pro career with a 10-game stint in the AHL Calder Cup playoffs with the Ducks farm club in Cincinnati. It was at the Ducks training camp in 2005 that Getzlaf and Perry immediately were paired together and have had Frick and Frack relationship ever since. Expectations high in Sochi The expectations are high for Getzlaf and Perry in Sochi and their new linemate, Patrick Marleau of the San Jose Sharks. The Ducks have been one of the best clubs through 60 games because of the twins play. With 29 goals and 67 points in 56 games, Getzlaf hit the Olympic break second in the Art Ross Trophy scoring race, 11 points behind Sidney Crosby. Perry is third in the league in goals scored with 30. "Were having a good season and obviously it would be nice to continue that over here," Perry said. cheap jerseys from chinacheap jerseys ' ' '
