The Colorado Rockies used 8 pitchers—none of them going more than 2 2/3 innings—and they only hit 1 home run offensively to take the second of four from the Fightins, their fifth straight, and to take the second National League Wild Card spot from the Redbirds.
Chad Bettis lasted the longest of the 8 Rockies pitchers (2.2 innings) in his first start since August 12. Bettis did an admirable job considering he only had about 40 pitches in the tank. He would throw 33 in an outing where he saw one unearned run cross the plate in the third.
