Reliever Manuel Corpas avoided a demotion to Class AAA Colorado Springs -- for now. 

An adjustment to Aaron Cook's delivery was essential to helping him get his first win of 2009. 

Chris Iannetta exceeded his modest goals for his at-bat in the seventh inning. 

Chris Iannetta hit a go-ahead grand slam in the seventh inning and the Colorado Rockies beat San Diego 9-6 on Monday night, sending the Padres to their sixth straight loss. 

SAN FRANCISCO - Hey, Jason Marquis, don't quit your day job. 

TheGiants cheerfully will take Sunday's 1-0 win over Colorado and board a plane to Chicago. 

SAN FRANCISCO Rich Aurilia is the only current Giant who was around when the franchise wielded one of the biggest home-field advantages in Baseball earlier this decade. 

The Rockies failed in an attempt to win consecutive series for the first time in 2009 and have fallen a season-most 7-1/2 games behind the torrid Dodgers. 

--RHP Jason Marquis has four of the Rockies' nine victories and four of the seven wins by the starting pitchers. 

Ian Stewart wasn't in the Rockies' lineup Sunday. 

There was no way theGiants rotation could maintain its two-week run of dominance. 

How they scored 

It's been almost a week since the San Diego Padres last won a game. 

Steve Holm rounded third and chugged toward home plate with an understandable urgency in his rusty stride. 

Ryan Spilborghs just loves playing behind Jason Marquis.
