Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Chris Nelson, Charlie Blackmon and Jonathan Herrera each drove in a run in the top of the 13th, as the Colorado Rockies earned a 7-5 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the opener of a season- ending three-game set.

Tyler Colvin hit a ground-rule double to open the 13th and scored without a play at the plate on Nelson's base hit up the middle.

Brad Bergesen (2-1) was pulled with the bases loaded and one out, and Blackmon greeted Mike Zagurski with an RBI single. Herrera added a fielder's choice grounder that plated DJ LeMahieu and Matt McBride scored on a wild pitch -- with both runs proving vital as a result of an Arizona rally in the bottom half.
