SAN DIEGO - Colorado closer Rex Brothers has felt off in recent days. TreQuan Smith Jersey . Chase Headley made him pay for it. Brothers gave up Headleys leadoff homer in the ninth inning to tie the game and pinch-hitter Jesus Guzman then singled in the winning run, lifting the San Diego Padres to a 4-3 victory over the Rockies on Friday night. "You make bad pitches, you get beat in this league," Brothers said. "I dont know if I made a single (good) pitch." Brothers (2-1) fell behind 2-0, then grooved a fastball that Headley hit off the facing of the third deck of the brick Western Metal Supply Co. building in left field to tie the game at 3-all for his 10th homer. "Hes a guy you dont want to get deep in the count with," Headley said. "I could afford to look for (a fastball). 2-0, youre looking for a fastball, middle in and fortunately, he threw it there." Guzmans single with the bases loaded and one out, went over third base and scored Kyle Blanks with the winning run. "I havent felt as good of late," Brothers said. "But you go through swings like that." Brothers, who has two blown saves in 17 chances, came in with a 1.52 ERA, fourth-lowest among NL relievers. Huston Street (2-4) got the win despite allowing a home run in the ninth. Blanks followed Headleys homer with a walk and Alexi Amarista reached on a bunt single. Ronny Cedeno sacrificed the runners and Nick Hundley was walked intentionally to load the bases for Guzman. Todd Helton had given the Rockies a 3-2 lead in the ninth with a leadoff homer on Streets first pitch. Heltons 13th homer was the first run allowed by Street in 20 1-3 innings. It was Heltons second homer in as many games and gives him 31 ninth-inning career home runs. San Diegos Will Venable continued his hot streak with a leadoff homer in the first. It extended Venables career best mark to 21 homers and established a Petco Park record for most homers (15) in the 10-year-old downtown ballpark. Rockies centre fielder Dexter Fowler left the game in the sixth inning when he reaggravated a left knee injury. Fowler appeared to hurt the knee when he stole second base in the fifth inning. Colorados Juan Nicasio allowed two runs — one earned — and four hits over six innings. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two. After Venables homer in the first and a triple by Chris Denorfia, Nicasio retired 13 consecutive batters until the Padres loaded the bases with one out in the fifth on two singles and a walk. Nicasio escaped trouble by getting Venable to ground into a double play. Padres rookie Burch Smith allowed two runs and three hits in the first inning. He gave up one more hit over his five innings. Smith became the first pitcher in major league history to strike out 18 or more in his first four career starts despite throwing less than 13 innings. The right-hander came in with a 0-1 record and ERA of 18.41 in his first three starts covering 7 1-3 innings. Colorado struck for two runs in the first. Fowler led off with a double, DJ LeMahieu followed with an infield single and Troy Tulowitzki doubled to score one run. Michael Cuddyer grounded out to score the second run. San Diego tied it at 2-all in the sixth after Denorfia drew a leadoff walk. Jedd Gyorko then hit a slow roller to third base that LeMahieu fielded and threw out the rookie. Denorfia kept going to third and first baseman Heltons throw went high over third base and bounced against the fence in foul territory. Catcher Wilin Rosario, backing up the throw, slid to pick up the ball, and from his knees, fired the ball to Nicasio. But Denorfia slide wide to avoid the tag and just got his hand on the corner of the plate.

The Rainbow FlickNext up is the Rainbow Flick, or as you probably know it, the trick that everybody at soccer camp thought they knew how to do.I always enjoy going over the baseball transactions every day just to follow the career paths of players or coaches, or even managers, I may have dealt with in the past. The other day, one name in particular caught my eye: Roy Howell signed on to be the manager of the Seattle Mariners Triple-A farm club in Tacoma. Of course, I had to make sure, it was the Roy Howell I was thinking of and it turns out it was. Roy Lee Howell came to the Blue Jays in their very first season in 1977. He had the fiery red hair and, later, the beard to go along with his gamer personality. Howell, a third baseman by trade, was the fourth-overall pick of the Texas Rangers in the 1972 draft. In the spring of 1977, he lost the Rangers third base job to longtime Rangers star Toby Harrah. Pat Gillick quickly pounced and pulled off his first significant in-season trade in franchise history on May 7 of that year, getting Howell in return for pitcher Steve Hargan, infielder Steve Mason and $200,000. Howell never had great numbers, in fact, his batting average peaked at .316 in 1977 and his best production year was 1979, when he 15 homers and knocked in 72 runs. But that first year with the Jays, he had a game for the ages at Yankee Stadium, no less. Howell slugged a pair of home runs, two doubles and a single, driving in nine runs as the Blue Jays came up with, by far, their biggest victory of their inaugural season pummeling the Yankees, 19-3. Those nine runs batted-in in a game is still a franchise record. Remember that 1977 was the year the Yankees won their first of back-to-back World Series. Howell spent four years with the Jays, then moved on as a free agent to the Milwaukee Brewers and finally to the San Francisco Giants. He came into managing late. Only three years ago in 2011, he became the skipper of the independent Pennsylvania Road Warriors of the Atlantic League. After that, he worked his way up in the Mariners organization as a hitting instructor. He wasnt actually supposed to be the skipper at Tacoma this year, but then fate stepped in. John Stearns, who was coaching on the Ms big league staff had to step down for health reasons. Rich Donnelly, a long time Major League coach, who had just been hired at Tacoma was promoted to Seattle to replace Stearns and, just like, that Howell, at age 60, was the new manager of the Rainiers. I looked back at that 1977 Blue Jays roster and its interesting, if not amazing, how many got involved in coaching or managing after their playing days were done. The most prominent include Alan Ashby, who went on to become an even better broadcaster, Phil Roof, Ernie Whitt, whos managed the Canadian mens team among others, Canadian Dave McKay, who worked for many years in Oakland and St. Louis with Tony LaRussa. I counted nine in total, including Doug "tthe Red Rooster" Rader, who had big league managerial stints with Texas, the White Sox and the Angels. DeMario Davis Jersey. Rader was also a coach on LaRussas staff in 1992, when they lost to the Blue Jays in the ALCS. Who knows? Maybe in the next couple of years Roy Howell will get his Major League shot. - Drew Hutchison will be starting for the Blue Jays Friday afternoon at Dunedin against Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox. If Hutchison continues to pitch the way he has this spring and holds his own against the BoSox, you can pretty much guarantee he will make the opening day roster as the number-four or five starter. Ricky Romeros big test is Tuesday at Lakeland against Detroit. Though Ricky has pitched well in two extended relief outings this spring, this will be his first start where he should face predominantly Major League hitters. If he gets through the outing unscathed, he will definately be in the conversation for the fourth or fifth starters slot. - The other day, a Tampa Bay Rays prospect by the name of Jeremy Moore crashed a monster home run off Marcus Stroman over the "batters eye" in dead centre field at Dunedin and drew the praise of skipper Joe Maddon. I wanted to learn a little bit more about Moore, so I did a little digging. He was a sixth-round pick of the Angels in 2005, a speedy outfielder who could handle all three positions well. Though he seemed to be progressing well through the minors, he was bothered by a bone spur and other issues in his hip. That seemed unusual for somebody so young, but doctors felt the beatings he took as a four-sport star in growing up in Louisiana, including football, had done the damage. Moore ultimately had to undergo hip surgery at age 24, though, thankfully, not hip replacement surgery like Bo Jackson. Moore missed the entire 2012 season before signing a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. After batting .211 with seven homers and 31 runs batted in last season in his comeback year, the Rays saw enough in him to sign Moore in January. Though he may be a long shot to make the Tampa Bay opening day roster, he has hit four homers this spring and has the versatility the Rays covet. Impressing Joe Maddon doesnt hurt either. Jeremy Moore is the kind of player you really pull for. - Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York pointed out that the Blue Jays could be on hand in New York for "Derek Jeter Day." Sunday, September 21, the Blue Jays are in New York and that is the Yankees final Sunday home game of the regular season. Nothing is official yet, but the Yanks did hold "Mariano Rivera Day" on the final Sunday of last season. So there is a chance, the Blue Jays will be part of the grand farewell of one of the Yankees all-time greats.
