OK, alright, this wasn’t a blowout all the way. Early on, it was a battle of blasts.
Jonathan Cannon found a middle ground between his terrific and awful performances the last two times out, giving up just three hits and a walk in 5 2⁄3 innings. But two of those three hits landed in bullpens, the first a 110 mph shot by Brendan Rogers that gave the Rockies a 1-0 lead in the second, the second a two-run job by Nolan Jones in the fifth.
Meanwhile, Cal Quantrill was cruising right along, allowing just two singles in the first four innings, but he ran out of gas in the hot, muggy weather in the fifth — or at least his pitches did.
