Seth Smith's second homer of the game, a leadoff shot in the ninth, lifted the visiting Colorado Rockies to a 4-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Smith, who hit a two-run homer in the sixth, belted a 2-2 pitch from Chris Perez (2-3) into the seats in right field. It was the fourth two-homer game in Smith's career.
Matt Belisle (5-2) retired the final three hitters in the eighth while Huston Street pitched the ninth for his major-league leading 22nd save. Street retired the first two hitters, but Cord Phelps tripled and Asdrubal Cabrera walked before pinch-hitter Austin Kearns struck out on a 2-2 pitch to end the game.
Trailing 3-1, the Indians tied the game in the eighth on RBI singles by Travis Hafner and Travis Buck, who snapped an 0-for-24 slump.
Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin didn't give up a hit until Shin-Soo Choo's RBI single with one out in the sixth.
