San Diego second baseman Tadahito Iguchi relays to first around Colorado's Brad Hawpe. The Rockies held off the Padres, 2-1, in 22 innings Thursday in San Diego.

San Diego ? Troy Tulowitzki’s RBI double with two outs in the 22nd inning scored Willy Taveras and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Diego Padres, 2-1, in the longest game in the majors in nearly 15 years, a 6-hour, 16-minute marathon.

It was the longest game since Aug. 31, 1993, when Minnesota beat Cleveland, 5-4, in 22 innings. It was also the longest game in Rockies history and in the five-year history of Petco Park.

Taveras reached on a two-out grounder when shortstop Khalil Greene’s throw pulled 6-foot-7 first baseman Tony Clark off the bag.

Taveras stole second and took third on catcher Josh Bard’s throwing error. Tulowitzki doubled to left-center off Glendon Rusch (0-1), the seventh Padres pitcher.

Only a fraction of the crowd of 25,984 was around to see the final out.
