On paper, the pitching matchup looked like a mismatch, and it was, though not in the way that was to be expected as the Rockies got to All-Star Shelby Miller early and often in a 5-3 win.
Gonzalez Germen made an emergency spot start for the Rockies after scheduled starter David Hale pulled his groin in Thursday's game and started well, getting through the top of the first inning in just eight pitches.
The Rockies' two All-Stars combined to give their team the lead in the bottom of the first when Nolan Arenado doubled home DJ LeMahieu, who had singled.
