TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ Mike Hampton became the first Colorado pitcher this spring to throw seven innings and Larry Walker hit a two-run homer as the Rockies beat the Anaheim Angels 8-5 Friday.

Todd Hollandsworth added four hits and two RBIs for the Rockies, who pounded Anaheim starter Ismael Valdes for eight runs and 13 hits in six innings.

Hampton, carrying lofty expectations after signing an eight-year, $121 million contract in December, allowed three runs and seven hits. He walked his first three hitters of the spring but got three double plays and struck out five.

The left-hander needed 12 pitches to retire the side in each of the first, second, third, sixth and seventh innings. Overall, he threw 98 pitches, 61 for strikes, and made a nice play to start a double play in the fourth.

``I'm right where I need to be at this time,'' Hampton said. ``If the regular season was to start tomorrow, I'd feel pretty confident that I'd be ready to go, but it will be good to get one more outing and get ready for opening day.''

Valdes, who signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal in January, has struggled this spring, allowing 17 earned runs in 15 2-3 innings.

David Eckstein, seeking a chance to replace injured Adam Kennedy at second base, had three hits and an RBI for the Angels.
