Coming off a 1-9 trip, their worst ever for that many games away from home, the Rockies celebrated their return to Coors Field by winning for the 10th time in their last 12 home games.

They scored six times in the third off Tom Glavine (7-6), who was denied his 298th career win, and Hirsh (4-7) capitalized on the early lead to beat the Mets.

Padres 3, Marlins 1

At San Diego, Brian Giles scored twice on fielder's choices for San Diego, which had only three hits in winning for the fifth time in six games. The Padres improved to 4-2 when they have three hits or fewer.

David Wells (4-5) didn't allow a run for the first time this year while holding Florida to five hits and striking out a season-high six in 6 2-3 innings. He won for the first time in five starts.
