Brendan Rodgers' grand slam lifts Rockies past Padres

Brendan Rodgers has said in his quiet voice more than once, “We're going to get out of this.” Tuesday night, the Rockies' soft-spoken second baseman swung a big stick, blasting a fifth-inning grand slam to power the Rockies to a 7-4 victory over San Diego at chilly Coors Field. Rodgers' first career grand slam was undoubtedly fueled by frustration — his and his teammates'. Colorado, which had lost eight of its last 10 games, had not gone deep in six consecutive games, one short of the franchise record.
