Ian Stewart belted two home runs, including a grand slam, as the Rockies defeated the Padres 10-8 on Friday. The Rockies won that game as -154 favorites, while the 18 runs sailed OVER the posted over/under (9.5) set by sportsbooks.
Matt Belisle picked up the win in relief, and Huston Street tossed a scoreless ninth for his fourth save.
