DENVER (AP) Pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso lined a game-winning single off the center-field wall in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies rallied past San Diego Padres 8-7 on Friday night.

DJ LeMahieu had three hits to raise his batting average to .349. He is tied with Washington's Daniel Murphy for the lead in the NL batting race.

The Rockies trailed 7-5 entering the ninth against closer Brandon Maurer (0-5) after hail and rain in the top of the inning forced a 38-minute delay.

LeMahieu started the comeback with a one-out double and Carlos Gonzalez singled him home one out later. Pinch-hitter David Dahl and Nick Hundley each singled to left to tie it.
