San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Todd Helton finished with four hits, including a home run, and three runs scored, while Troy Tulowitzki had three hits, none bigger than his two-run double in the ninth frame, as Colorado edged San Diego, 5-3, in the finale of a three-game set at Petco Park. cheap jerseys from china . Colorados two-spot in the ninth made a winner of Matt Lindstrom (1-1), who worked around two hits to throw a scoreless frame. It was a good win, we needed that win, said Colorado manager Jim Tracy. Aaron Cook made his first start of the season after suffering a fractured right fibula last September, allowing three runs on six hits with four strikeouts and four walks over 5 2/3 frames. Cook pitched for the first time since September 8, 2010. He was shut down at the beginning of spring training with a sore shoulder and then broke a finger on his pitching hand back in March. The Rockies won their first three-game series since taking two-of-three from the Cubs in mid-April (April 15-17). His counterpart, Dustin Moseley, was hit with the injury bug, collapsing to the ground while holding his left shoulder after popping out to shortstop in the fifth frame. Heath Bell (2-2) took the loss after surrendering both ninth- inning runs. Alberto Gonzalez had two runs batted in for the Padres. Overall, I made some good pitches, they hit some balls where guys werent, surmised Moseley. The Padres struck first against the sinkerballer Cook with Ryan Ludwick singling to center and moving up to second on Nick Hundleys one-out bloop single to right. Jorge Cantu followed with a line drive for a hit to left, and Gonzalezs grounder to short allowed Ludwick to score the first run. Colorado answered back in the third with Helton driving a low-and-in pitch out of spacious Petco Park tight to the right-field line. Tulowitzki followed with a single, moved to second on Seth Smiths base hit and came around to score when Ty Wigginton registered the third straight single. The entire rally came with two outs. Helton and Tulowitzki were at it again in the fifth, providing the visitors with a two-run cushion. Helton drove a double past the center fielder Eric Patterson then the Rockies shortstop drove him home with a single to right. The Padres knocked Cook out and tied the game in the sixth. Chase Headley worked a leadoff walk and moved all of the way to third on Brad Hawpes base hit. He scored when Cook uncorked a wild pitch, and Cantu was offered an intentional free pass with two outs, but the move backfired. Matt Belisle replaced Cook and was greeted by Gonzalezs single to right, allowing Hawpe to score as Smiths throw from right short-hopped the catcher a little down the third-base line. The Padres put a runner at third base with just one out in the eighth, but Chris Denorfia was thrown out at the plate on Hundleys grounder back to the mound. Colorado escaped that jam then took advantage of its own opportunity against the Padres closer in the ninth. Carlos Gonzalez singled to center and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. Helton was intentionally walked then both runners moved up on a wild pitch. Tulowitzki crushed a double to right, scoring both players for the final margin.

Now its Trevor Scotts turn to get ready for more action. "I dont really know whats going to happen as far as depth chart," the former Oakland Raider, who has been used sparingly, said, "but Ill definitely be preparing to have a more active role this week." First-round pick Chandler Jones was having a solid rookie season with six sacks before hurting his right ankle in the first quarter of a 59-24 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 18. He missed the rest of that game and all of last Thursdays 49-19 rout of the New York Jets when Cunningham had a season-high six tackles in his first start of the year. Now Cunninghams gone and Jones may not be ready to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Scott has played only 110 snaps, 59 in the first nine games and 51 in the past two. He figures to play a lot more in Miami than his average this season of 10 per game. But a defence that has just 23 sacks in 11 games seems to be taking in stride the loss of Cunningham, who has played well with three sacks after struggling last year, his second following the 2010 draft when the Patriots took him in the second round. "Every year theres always going to be some issue that you have to deal with. Thats just the way football goes," said defensive end Rob Ninkovich, who leads the Patriots with seven sacks. "So thats another thing that well just deal with." With a win at Miami, the Patriots (8-3) would clinch the AFC East title for the fourth straight season and ninth in the last 10. If they win, none of the other division teams could get more than nine victories and they would lock up the best record among the four teams in division games. "Thats huge," special teams captain Matthew Slater said. "Were really thankful as a team to be where we are right now, to have a chance to be in position to play for something else. But we realize that eight wins doesnt get us anything. Thatll get us a ticket home at the end of the season." Thats not very likely to happen -- with or without Cunningham and Jones -- not with the Patriots having the NFLs best offence, a five-game winning streak and two games against Miami and one against Jacksonville, both with losing records, remaining. cheap nfl jerseys. "The next guys got to just step up and be ready to play," safety Steve Gregory said. "The game of football is a physical game. Guys go down. Guys get hurt. Everyone on your roster has to be ready to step up and play at any given moment, so all of our guys treat it that way." The Patriots signed Scott as a free agent following four seasons with Oakland, where he was drafted in the sixth round. He had a total of 12 sacks in 32 games over his first two seasons, but just 1 1-2 in 26 games during the last two. Of his 58 games with the Raiders, he started 16. Hes not worrying about his limited playing time so far this year. "Its not going to help if I get down about myself," Scott said. "I dont really have any control over that. But I just have control over what happens when I do get in the game." The leagues announcement of Cunninghams suspension did not specify the substance. The Patriots had no official reaction. Cunningham can return to the active roster on Dec. 24, one day after the Patriots play at Jacksonville, and be eligible for the regular-season finale against the Dolphins in Foxborough. Patriots rookie running back Brandon Boldens four-game suspension for violating the same NFL policy ends after Sunday game in Miami. Cornerback Aqib Talib has played two games since being traded by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had to sit out his first game with the Patriots to complete his four-game suspension for violating the policy on performance-enhancing substances. Now with Cunningham out, if Scott can pressure the quarterback it would help the entire defence. A good pass rush "always helps" the secondary, safety Devin McCourty said. "I think we work together pretty good at times and I think its been improving each week." How will that be affected by Cunninghams absence for four of the remaining five games? "Well see," McCourty said. "I dont know." ' ' '
