Rockies 10, Reds 5

Troy Tulowitzki homered and drove in three runs and Ubaldo Jimenez notched his 18th win of the season as the Colorado Rockies recorded a 10-5 triumph over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

Carlos Gonzalez slapped a two-run double and Miguel Olivo and Eric Young had run-scoring hits and scored twice for Colorado (73-64), which won for the 11th time in 15 games.

Jimenez (18-6) settled down after a four-run third inning to toss six strong frames. The 26-year-old right-hander permitted four runs and seven hits while walking six and striking out eight.

Esmil Rogers and Matt Reynolds bridged the gap to Franklin Morales, who retired the side in the ninth to preserve the win.

Jonny Gomes belted a two-run single and Chris Heisey and Juan Francisco added RBI singles for NL Central-leading Cincinnati (79-58), which fell for the third time in four games.

Bill Bray (0-2) permitted three runs and two hits in 1 2/3 innings to take the loss.

Rookie Aroldis Chapman also struggled, yielding one run and three hits in one-third of an inning of relief.
