Ryan Spilborghs led off the inning unceremoniously as he hit a weak tapper to shortstop for the first out of the inning. Chris Iannetta would follow him with a one-out single. Jimenez would strike out to make it two outs in the inning. Kazuo Matsui would keep the inning alive, though, as he singled to right field.

Troy Tulowitzki followed Matsui and, on the fourth pitch of the at-bat, he launched a double to deep right-center field that scored Iannetta and got Matsui to third to make it 1-0 Rockies.

Matt Holliday was red hot entering this game as during the winning streak, he was he was 11-for-16 (a .688 average), with seven runs, two doubles, four home runs, and eight RBI. He would improve on all of these as hit followed Tulowitzki and he hit a three-run bomb to left-center field to make it 4-0 Rockies.

The Rockies would keep piling it on as Todd Helton came up with a single to keep it rolling and Garrett Atkins doubled to left. Brad Hawpe came up and he doubled to right field to drive in both Helton and Atkins to make it 6-0 Rockies.

Ryan Spilborghs came up for the second time in the inning (still against Derek Lowe) and grounded out to end the inning.
