Trailing 5-4, Colorado tied the score in the bottom of the seventh when Jason Giambi singled in Dexter Fowler for his third RBI of the game.

Colorado led 2-1 after three innings with Giambi twice driving in Seth Smith on a first-inning single and a third-inning sacrifice fly.

Victorino went 2-for-3, tripling twice and drawing three walks. Colorado’s Smith went 3-for-5 and scored three runs.
