DENVER -- Jhoulys Chacin is starting to make a name for himself, even if few can properly pronounce it. For the record, its yo-LEES cha-SEEN. And even more for the record, hes quietly amassed an 8-4 mark with a 2.81 earned-run average -- numbers worthy of all-star consideration. Chacin scattered three hits over six sharp innings and Seth Smith hit a tiebreaking single as part of a five-run sixth, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 6-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. The 23-year-old righty made only one mistake all afternoon, giving up a solo homer to Rob Johnson. He had seven strikeouts and walked two to pick up his third straight win. Chacin is among the NL leaders in several categories, including opposing batting average (.196). If Rockies manager Jim Tracy had a say in the matter, Chacin, whos emerging as the staff ace with Ubaldo Jimenez struggling, would be at the all-star game. "Has he done enough to be under consideration? Yes. Will it happen? I dont know," Tracy said. "Unfortunately, I dont get a vote. I know the direction I would lean. "Hes still a little bit new on the scene. But I think those who have walked up there and faced him are well aware of his capability." Chacin outdueled another up-and-coming young pitcher in Mat Latos (4-, who threw effectively before running out of steam in the sixth. Latos allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings. "It is frustrating. But thats how it is," Latos said. "Thats how baseball is." The Rockies cranked up their offence with seven singles in the sixth inning, including five straight at one point. Smith, Ty Wigginton and Charlie Blackmon all had RBI singles, while pinch hitter Ryan Spilborghs added a two-run base hit up the middle. The seven hits ties a season high for an inning and allowed the Rockies to take two of three from the Padres in the series. Even more, the Rockies are now 2-0 since Tracys closed-door meeting in which he implored his team to pick up their game. Asked if that lecture lit a fire, Wigginton simply said, "Absolutely it does." "Hes basically showing that hes living and dying with us as far as baseball. You want to go out there and respond," Wigginton said. Chris Denorfia drove in two runs for San Diego, including a two-out RBI single in the ninth. Backup catcher Jose Morales had a solid day at the plate, going 2 for 4. But he had a rough time in the field, especially in the sixth when he committed two errors. Morales threw wild to first after fielding a bunt and had another error on a catchers interference call when Ryan Ludwicks bat struck his glove. The Padres couldnt capitalize on the miscues as Morales threw out Jason Bartlett trying to steal and Chacin got Cameron Maybin to ground out to thwart the threat. The inning before, Morales was hit on the right thumb by a foul tip from Johnson. Morales clutched at his hand for several minutes as he crawled on the ground in pain. Following a visit from the trainer, Morales hopped up, took some quick tosses and stayed in the game. A few pitches later, Johnson hit a solo homer to left, his first since May 3 against Pittsburgh. The Rockies tied it up in their half of the fifth when Morales reached on a fielders choice and Chacin followed with a two-out single. Carlos Gonzalez added a single up the middle that brought in Morales. Chacin and Latos each pitched out of early trouble. Latos surrendered a leadoff double to Troy Tulowitzki in the second, but avoided a jam when Tulowitzki made a baserunning blunder and was thrown out attempting to advance to third on Wiggintons grounder to short. Chacin gave up a one-out double to Bartlett in the first, only to strike out Chase Headley and get Anthony Rizzo to fly out to left. Chacin isnt getting too caught up in the all-star talk, preferring to simply do his job and see what comes of it. "If it happens, its good," Chacin said. "If not, Ill just keep working all season."
