DENVER -- There were only two forces that could stop Tyler Chatwood in his quest for his second complete game of the season in Sunday's 5-2 Rockies win over the D-backs: Mother Nature and his own instincts.
Ultimately his instincts won out, as Chatwood's attempt to bare-hand a comebacker in the top of the eighth yielded an infield single to Daniel Descalso and prompted manager Bud Black to lift Chatwood after seven-plus innings of two-hit ball.
"It hit me right in the palm, but I'm good -- it didn't hurt anything," Chatwood said.
