Rockies lose 3-1 lead and second straight game to Padres, as Marquis falters and Giants close gap to 4 1/2 games in wild-card race before start of three-game series Monday in San Francisco.
Turning point: After scoring a run in the fifth, the Padres kept grinding away in the sixth against Jason Marquis, scoring three runs to take a 5-3 lead. Marquis issued four walks, one intentional, to the eight batters he faced in the inning, and the Padres hit just two balls out of the infield _ Adrian Gonzalez’s leadoff double and a sacrifice fly by Tony Gwynn Jr. which scored the second run of the inning. The first scored on Nick Hundley’s infield single and the third came home when Marquis issued a bases-loaded walk to Everth Cabrera, the final batter he faced.
