Padres 4, Rockies 3:
Yangervis Solarte belted a go-ahead home run and Yonder Alonso added a solo shot as San Diego came from behind to take out visiting Colorado.

Rymer Liriano made his major-league debut and delivered a sacrifice fly as the Padres won their third straight and seventh in the last nine contests. Nick Vincent (1-2) picked up the win in relief and Joaquin Benoit struck out the side in the ninth to earn his sixth save for San Diego.

Corey Dickerson hit a three-run homer for the Rockies, who fell to 18-42 on the road. Jordan Lyles allowed two runs on four hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings but the bullpen could not hold the lead.

Dickerson came up with runners on the corners in the sixth and sent a 2-1 curveball into the stands in right to give Colorado a 3-1 lead. The Padres cut the deficit to a run on Liriano’s sacrifice fly in the bottom half and took the lead in the seventh when Boone Logan (2-3) entered for the Rockies and surrendered a leadoff double and a sacrifice bunt before Solarte lined a 1-0 fastball into the front row in left.

Alonso opened the scoring with a solo home run down the line in right in the fourth but Jesse Hahn could not hold the lead and ended up charged with three runs and five hits in five-plus innings. Vincent struck out three in two perfect innings and Kevin Quackenbush struck out the side in the eighth before handing it off to Benoit.

GAME NOTEBOOK: San Diego designated RF Jeff Francoeur for assignment to make room for Liriano. … Rockies LHP Brett Anderson met with a specialist on Monday is will undergo back surgery on Thursday, ending his season. … Padres SS Everth Cabrera (left hamstring) missed his second straight game and will undergo an MRI exam.
