Matt Holliday raced home on Jamey Carroll's shallow fly ball, capping a stunning, three-run rally in the 13th inning against Trevor Hoffman and leading the Colorado Rockies over the San Diego Padres 9-8 Monday night for the NL wild card.

After Scott Hairston's two-run homer put the Padres ahead in the top of the 13th, Colorado came back against baseball's career saves leader.

The Rockies won the longest one-game tiebreaker in major league history, and advanced to play Philadelphia in the first round.

Kaz Matsui and Troy Tulowitzki hit back-to-back doubles off Hoffman, making it 8-7, and Holliday tripled off the wall in right to tie it.
