Wilin Rosario’s
solo homer in the 10th off of Francisco Rodriguez lifted the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Brewers on Wednesday
night.  The Brewers had rallied for a
pair of runs in the bottom of the 9th to send it to extra
innings.  Wily Peralta gave up 2 runs and
7 hits in seven innings but gets the no decision after Carlos Gonzalez hit a
two run homer off of Jonathan Broxton in the 8th.  The Brewers take today off and then open up a
three game set with Pittsburgh
on Friday night.
