Jimenez fans 10 to lead Rockies over Padres, 5-3

Ubaldo Jimenez struck out 10 and allowed three hits in seven innings to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 5-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.

Clint Barmes homered for the second straight game for the Rockies, who are 29-9 since June 4. Ian Stewart hit a two-run double and made two nice plays at third base, and Chris Iannetta also had a two-run hit.

The Padres are a major league-worst 11-29 since June 1.

Jimenez (7-9) won for the first time in five starts. He'd gone 0-3 in four starts since beating Tampa Bay on June 18. The right-hander reached double digits in strikeouts for the fifth time in his career and fell one short of his career best, which came against the Padres at Petco Park on May 10, 2008. He allowed three runs.
