    The San Diego Padres brought in the right-field fences in an attempt to make Petco Park play a little fairer, knowing that opponents would benefit, too.

    Todd Helton is glad they did.

    Helton's pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning hit the top of the new right-field fence, which was moved in 11 feet, bounced over the Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Deck and into the seats to break a scoreless tie. Coupled with a combined two-hitter by Jorge De La Rosa and three relievers, it carried the Colorado Rockies to a 2-1 victory Sunday against San Diego, their second three-game sweep of the Padres this season.
