SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (AP) -- Colorado ace Ubaldo Jimenez threw two scoreless if slightly shaky innings and the Rockies inaugurated the fancy new spring training facility they share with Arizona by beating the Diamondbacks 8-7 in 10 innings Saturday.

Ryan Spilborghs and Craig Reynolds each doubled in two runs off Arizona relievers in front of a capacity crowd of about 12,514 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, the $130 million complex built by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.

Kelly Johnson had a solo home run for the Diamondbacks.

Non-roster invitee Paul Goldschmidt, who played at Class A Visalia last season, hit a two-out, three-run homer off fellow minor leaguer Adam Jorgenson in Arizona's five-run ninth.

Charlie Blackman homered off Daniel Stange in the 10th for what proved to be the winning run.
