DENVER -- A tough stretch in the last few days for the Colorado Rockies made Dexter Fowlers game-winning hit in the teams final at-bat that much sweeter. Fowlers RBI single down the first base line in the 10th inning lifted the Rockies past the Dodgers 7-6 on Saturday, a day after Colorado lost to Los Angeles in extra innings. "Its an awesome feeling, especially the way weve been grinding the past few days," Fowler said. "Weve been losing some close games, some extra-inning games and its good to come out on top." The Rockies endured a stretch in which they had lost six of seven games before pulling out their fourth win this season in their last at-bat. They improved to 4-6 in extra-inning games. "This win was really important," said Michael Cuddyer, who hit a game-tying home run in the seventh. "It wasnt, Our season is over if we lose, but at the same time, it was a good win to be able to get our heads back and to fight like we did and have the resiliency to come back and win. Hopefully, this will give us some momentum." Yorvit Torrealbas two-out single off Matt Guerrier (1-2) started the rally. Pinch-hitter Wilin Rosario followed with an infield single, narrowly beating the throw to first. Fowler then lined a hard grounder that shot past first base into right field, driving in Torrealba with the winning run and snapping the Rockies three-game losing streak. "I hit a curve ball," Fowler said. "I was just looking for something up. I just wanted to hit the ball hard somewhere. Thats what Ive been trying to do the past few weeks and let everything else take care of itself." Matt Belisle (3-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the victory. The loss was compounded for the Dodgers because of another injury, this time to Carl Crawford. He left in the third inning after suffering a left hamstring cramp while legging out his second double in two at-bats. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury, but Dodgers manager Don Mattingly indicated that the team likely would have to make some roster moves. "Hamstrings are never good. Well find out," said Mattingly, who wasnt around for the finish after drawing his first ejection of the season in the sixth. Said Crawford: "Were all trying to figure it out because this is my left hamstring and it kind of came out of nowhere." Crawfords absence for any extended period of time would be tough for the Dodgers, whose disabled list already is swelled with some of the teams best players, from Matt Kemp and Hanley Ramirez to Josh Beckett and Chad Billingsley, among others. "Its kind of getting ridiculous," Mattingly said. "The last couple of days, two outfielders (Kemp went on the DL two days ago), kind of our main guys. We had a chance to win today and we didnt get the outs we needed." The Rockies tied the score at 6-6 in the seventh when Cuddyer connected off Ronald Belisario for his ninth homer of the season, a two-run shot that bounced off the top of the wall in right-centre before dropping on the other side. Trailing 3-1, the Rockies used a three-run fifth, highlighted by Carlos Gonzalezs 14th home run of the season, to go up 4-3. The Dodgers regained the lead in the sixth. Skip Schumaker and Nick Punto hit consecutive singles and Tim Federowicz, who hit his first major league home run in the third, followed with a two-run double to centre for a 5-4 lead. In the bottom of the sixth, Nolan Arenado led off with a single. Torrealba hit a low line drive that Zack Greinke appeared to snag before his glove hit the base of the mound and then threw to first to double off Arenado, who had advanced to second. Umpires ruled that the ball hit the ground before Greinke caught it and Mattingly was ejected by first base umpire Brian Knight after a persistent, heated argument over the call. Greinke left with one out in the sixth after walking pinch-hitter Jordan Pacheco. Paco Rodriguez relieved and retired the next two batters, rendering the umpires decision moot as the Rockies stranded both base runners in the inning. Schumakers RBI single in the seventh boosted the Dodgers lead to two runs. In the second, the Rockies got three consecutive hits off Greinke, the last an RBI double by Arenado. Torrealba walked before Greinke induced an inning-ending double-play grounder from Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin, who allowed five runs on nine hits in six innings. Chacin is still seeking his first win since April 19. NOTES: After the game, a Rockies team spokesman said closer Rafael Betancourt would go on the disabled list because of a right groin strain.

Hes a CFL rookie but it hasnt taken the former NFL player long to understand the importance of the quarterback in Canadian football as he tries to crack the Winnipeg Blue Bombers roster as a backup to starter Buck Pierce. "Im not saying hes not important in the NFL because he obviously is," Hall said Thursday. "But theres a little more emphasis on him in the CFL." The former BYU star played six games for the NFLs Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2010 but spent last season coaching at his alma mater. But thats also where Bombers offensive co-ordinator Gary Crowton coached from 2001-2004. Hall said his biggest adjustment in Canadian football is dealing with one less down. "The key is having three downs instead of four, thats the biggest difference," Hall said. "Now you dont have that one down in there to have an incomplete pass or to get stuffed on a run. "Every single down you need to get positive yards and you need to put yourself in a situation on second down to convert. Thats the biggest difference and thats why you must have a quarterback whos smart, who can take of the football and go to the right spot." Both Hall and Chase Clement, the other new quarterback at rookie camp this week, believe they have what it takes to play in the CFL. The Bombers are giving Hall and Clement as well as current backup Justin Goltz plenty of chances to prove themselves. Coach Tim Burke says all are getting equal time in practice. But that will change Sunday when training camp opens and Pierce and Goltz will likely start to get more reps as the team focuses on game preparations. Winnipegs first exhibition game is June 12 at home to Toronto before the club opens the CFL season June 27 at Investors Group Field, its new stadium, facing the Montreal Alouettes.dddddddddddd Hall, 27, and Clement, 26, were signed after the Bombers released backups Alex Brink and Joey Elliott. Neither Brink nor Elliott impressed last season when they took over after Pierce went down with a series of injuries. The Bombers have decided to go with Pierce as their starter again. But finding a solid backup is a top priority given Pierces injury record. Goltz, entering his fourth CFL season, looks like a good bet as the only veteran backup left. But nothing is carved in stone and both Hall and Clement are eager to get back on the field and start playing again. "I had a great opportunity with the Cardinals, it didnt last as long as I wanted it to, but I have a great opportunity here," said Hall. Clement is giving the CFL another shot after making a quick trip to Hamilton in 2009 and leaving after one practice. His main post-college experience was with the United Football League where he led the Las Vegas Locomotives to a championship in 2010. "Ive had a lot of success in college and a lot of success in professional football," Clement said. "I feel like Im very much comparable to anybody in this league." Burke is pleased with the progress both have shown in the short time hes had them. "I think theyre both doing a really good job," he said. "Theyre both learning the system, which is good. "I think theyre both making good throws. Theyre accurate. When they havent been its just because they didnt make a quick enough decision." Burke also said both newcomers are picking up the Canadian game. "I think theyve adapted to the offensive part of it, which is the motion and all that," he said. "I think its going to take a little bit more time to be able to understand what the defence is doing with all that motion." ' ' '
