Rockies 3, Padres 1:
Jorge De La Rosa took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and host Colorado survived a shaky ninth to snap a season-high three-game losing streak.

De La Rosa (5-3) struck out five and faced just one batter over the minimum in seven innings while improving to 3-0 at home. He lost the no-hit bid when Chris Denorfia opened the seventh with a triple but stranded the runner and preserved a 1-0 lead by inducing three straight infield outs.

Charlie Blackmon singled in a run and DJ LeMahieu recorded two hits and scored once for the Rockies, who were coming off a 2-5 road trip. Jordan Pacheco had an RBI single in the eighth to provide an important insurance run.

Drew Stubbs' double with one out in the fourth was the Rockies' first hit against Eric Stults (2-4), who was charged with two runs - one earned - in 6 2/3 solid innings. He was hurt by his defense as De La Rosa's grounder to second with two outs in the fifth was mishandled, allowing Pacheco to trot in from third with the game's first run.

Blackmon drove in LeMahieu in the seventh and Boone Logan struck out pinch hitter Yasmani Grandal with two aboard in the top of the eighth before Pacheco made it 3-0 in the bottom half. Denorfia doubled and Chase Headley singled him home against LaTroy Hawkins in the ninth, but the Rockies' closer recovered to strand two baserunners and pick up his 10th save.

GAME NOTEBOOK: De La Rosa faced the minimum through six, as his only walk was erased on an unsuccessful steal attempt. ... Stults has issued two walks or fewer in 17 straight starts, the second-longest active streak in the majors. ... Rockies 3B Nolan Arenado was ejected in the eighth inning by home plate umpire Seth Buckminster for arguing a called third strike.
