Miguel Olivo went 5 for 5, including a leadoff home run in the 10th inning that lifted the Colorado Rockies over the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 today in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.
Phillies ace Roy Halladay took a 3-1 lead into the seventh, but the Colorado native wound up with a no-decision after Brad Hawpe's tying, two-run triple.
Olivo sent Chad Durbin's first pitch far over the left-field wall, then flipped his bat in celebration. Olivo began the game in a 2-for-28 slump.
Joe Beimel (1-0) threw 1 1-3 scoreless innings. Durbin (0-1) took the loss on a cold, damp and windy day that followed an overnight snowfall.
Before the game, the Phillies insisted today they weren't trying to steal signs when bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was caught on camera peering through binoculars from the bullpen bench at Coors Field earlier this week.
Manager Charlie Manuel told The Associated Press that Billmeyer simply was watching Philadelphia catcher Carlos Ruiz set up defensively. Whatever, Major League Baseball officials looked at the tape and told the Phillies to knock it off.
Olivo also singled three times and doubled for his second career five-hit game.
Halladay surrendered three runs, two of them earned, on 10 hits in 6 1-3 innings. He made his first start in Colorado since high school, pitching in a game with weather similar to what he had to deal with as a prep prodigy at Arvada West in the mid-1990s.
