The left -hander Ubaldo Jimenez on Monday at the San Diego Padres hitless until the sixth inning and Ryan Spilborghs , Miguel Olivo and Venezuela’s Carlos Gonzalez hit a two-run homer each in the victory of the Colorado Rockies 10-6.

Seth Smith also hit a solo homer for the Rockies , who won five of their last seven games.

Jimenez (14-1 ) is the winningest pitcher in the majors. The Dominican, who pitched a no-hitter in Atlanta on April 17 , missed the opportunity to achieve another in the sixth inning , when he allowed four runs and four hits. One of them was a three-run homer to Scott Hairston hit the edge of the second tray above the left-field stadium .

The right-hander , who pitched a perfect the first three innings , won for the eighth straight decision and so tied the team record set in 2007 Jeff Francis . His ERA rose from 1.60 to 1.83 , so it is tied with Florida pitcher Josh Johnson on the major league lead Boston Red Sox Tickets at Fenway Park.
