After early diving catch, Renfroe hits 3-run HR

DENVER -- Hunter Renfroe took command of Tuesday night's game against the Rockies, flashing leather to steal a hit early and blasting a three-run home run to put the Padres ahead, 5-2, in the top of the seventh inning.

With two outs in the seventh, Rockies reliever Bryan Shaw yielded a single to center from Jose Pirela, then watched Eric Hosmer reach first on a grounder that bounced off first baseman Pat Valaika's glove, resulting in no play.
