.
Michael Cuddyer, Dexter Fowler and Corey Dickerson also homered for the
Rockies, who salvaged a split of their 10-game homestand.
Yuniesky Betancourt and Norichika Aoki homered and Carlos Gomez had two
hits and scored twice for the Brewers.
The Rockies had hoped to stay in the thick of the NL West race when they
resumed after the All-Star break against the three worst teams in the
NL. Instead, they lost three of four to Miami and were in danger of
losing the series to Milwaukee before coming back against John Axford
(4-4).
Trailing 5-4, Tulowitzki led off with a double down the third base line
and scored on Cuddyers double down the first base line. One out later,
Nolan Arenado hit a go-ahead single.
Rex Brothers got the final three outs for his seventh save.
The Brewers took the lead in the eighth when Gomez doubled and
Betancourt homered off reliever Matt Belisle (5-5).
It was one of five home runs hit in the thin air at Coors Field.
The Rockies trailed 3-1 when Dickerson led off the sixth with his first
career homer. One out later, Cuddyer hit his 17th to right to tie it.
Fowlers two-out homer off reliever Michael Gonzalez in the seventh gave
Colorado a 4-3 lead. It was his 12th of the season.
Jhoulys Chacin was in line for the win before Betancourts homer in the
eighth. Chacin allowed three runs on eight hits and struck out four in
seven innings.
Tulowitzki gave the Rockies a 1-0 lead in the first with his 19th home
run of the season off starter Donovan Hand. The Brewers tied it in the
second on a bases-loaded infield single by Jeff Bianchi.
Aoki made it 2-1 in the third with his sixth homer, and Bianchi gave the
Brewers a two-run cushion with an RBI single in the fourth.
Hand was making six innings, his longest outing of the season in just
his fifth start. He allowed three runs on eight hits and didnt walk a
batter.
NOTES: Brewers SS Jean Segura was given the day off after getting hit in
the right forearm with a pitch Saturday. Manager Ron Roenicke said
Segura is fine and he just kept him out for rest. ... Rockies OF Carlos
Gonzalez (sprained right middle finger) was out of the lineup for the
third straight day. ... Colorado LHP Jorge De La Rosa (10-5) will start
Monday in Atlanta. ... Milwaukee RHP Kyle Lohse (7-7) will open a
four-game series at the Cubs on Monday.

SEATTLE -- David Crisp made all four of his 3-pointers down
the stretch and scored 26 points to lead Washington to a 94-88 win over
Long Beach State on Tuesday night.The Huskies (3-1) failed to connect on
their first 13 3-pointers -- meanwhile the 49ers (1-5) made 10-of-17
from range -- but it was the 3-ball that sealed the victory for
Washington, which sank its final eight. UW forced back-to-back turnovers
with less than six minutes to play, and Matisse Thybulle followed each
with a 3-pointer as the Huskies turned a two-point deficit into a 75-68
lead with 5:10 to play.It just wasnt falling, but in the first half, we
were guarding, Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. That allowed us to
stay in the game. We talked to our team about it: The shots arent always
going to go in.The second half, we did start making shots and I think
we forgot about playing defense at that point. Our identity shifted all
of a sudden, where we had an offensive mindset.Crisp made four from
behind the arc en route to his career-high and Markelle Fultz added 21
points. The guards picked up the slack in the second half from Noah
Dickerson, had 17 of his career-high 23 points in the first half and
grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.Once he makes one 3, I think David,
he can just go up from there, said Fultz, who also dished out six
assists. Thats what he does. He makes big shots at big times.The Huskies
didnt lead for the first 17 minutes but went on a 14-2 run -- eight
from Dickerson -- near the end of the half to lead 36-32 at the
break.Evan Payne led Long Beach State with 19 points and Noah Blackwell
added 12, making 4 of 5 behind the arc.BIG PICTURELong Beach State: The
49ers can see the light at the end of the tunnnel.

Tuesdays game against Washington ended a stretch of contests against
Wichita State, North Carolina, Louisville and UCLA. All resulted in
losses, but Long Beach State played their best game of the stretch in
the last game.Washington: Despite what the score against a 1-5 team
might indicate, the Huskies played their most complete game of the
season. If not for a team of hands that went collectively cold and vice
versa for their opponents, the Huskies would have walked away with a
decisive win over a team they battled closely in last seasons NIT.
Instead, Washington relied on Dickersons best game since arriving on
campus and a stellar defensive performance, forcing the 49ers to make
shots with hands in their faces, which for the most part, they
did.REMATCHTuesdays game featured a repeat of the first round of the NIT
last season. The No. 3-seeded Huskies prevailed in a track meet,
107-102. Of the six players to score in double figures in last years
meeting only the 49ers Justin Bibbins (17 points, four assists) remained
for the rematch.Theyve played us very tough in the past, Romar said. It
seems like whenever we play Long Beach State, the games are close. . We
knew that they would come out here and play well.UP NEXT:Long Beach
State: The 49ers will be seeking their first win since the season-opener
as they travel to Fort Myers, Fla., to play Binghamton in the
Battle4Atlantis Mainland on Thursday.Washington: The Huskies head to Las
Vegas for their first games away from home this season, playing Western
Kentucky to open the Global Sports MTE on Friday.
