08/24/2008 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Omar Quintanilla hit a game-ending home run in the 12th inning to propel the Colorado Rockies to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Reds in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Ubaldo Jimenez had a solid outing, allowing three runs -- two earned -- on four hits in six innings pitched with six strikeouts and four walks. Ryan Speier (2-1) got the win after pitching around two walks in the top of the 12th.
Colorado's bullpen combined for six shutout innings, allowing just one hit while striking out eight and walking four.
Ian Stewart went 3-for-6 and Matt Holliday went 2-for-4 with two runs scored for the Rockies, who have won seven of nine.
Johnny Cueto threw three hitless innings -- giving up an unearned run with three walks -- before leaving due to soreness in his right triceps tendon. He struck out four in his appearance. Mike Lincoln (1-5) took the loss for the second straight game after giving up the home run to Quintanilla.
Chris Dickerson hit his third home run of the season and Edwin Encarnacion went 2-for-3 with two walks for the Reds, who have lost three of four.
Trailing by one, Colorado got to David Weathers in the ninth. Holliday started the inning by reaching base on Brandon Phillips' error at second. After going to second on a balk, Holliday scored on Brad Hawpe's sacrifice fly after Jay Bruce threw the ball into the dugout, tying the game at three.
The Rockies finally ended it in the 12th off Lincoln. After he got the first batter to pop out, Quintanilla blasted his second home run of the year to give Colorado the win.
The Rockies scored in the first thanks to some Reds miscues. Scott Podsednik reached with one out on an error by Joey Votto and stole second. Holliday and Hawpe worked back-to-back walks to load the bases for Garrett Atkins, who reached when Bruce dropped a fly ball, giving Colorado a 1-0 lead.
Cincinnati tied the game in the second. Votto led off with a double, and two batters later Encarnacion singled to put men on the corners. Corey Patterson followed by beating out a potential double play groundout, allowing Votto to score.
The Reds took the lead in the fifth. Encarnacion walked, advanced to third on Jimenez's throwing error on a bunt and scored on Paul Bako's sacrifice fly.
Dickerson hit his second homer in as many days in the sixth to give Cincinnati a 3-1 lead.
The Rockies cut the deficit to one in the seventh. Holliday led off with a single, stole second and third and scored on a wild pitch by Jeremy Affeldt.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
