DENVER -- Jorge De La Rosa wouldn't let it slow him down a third time.
A cut on his left middle finger scratched the Rockies left-hander from two starts last week, but De La Rosa finally returned to the mound in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader. He sifted through a treacherous fifth inning with limited damage and ultimately pitched six quality frames, propelling Colorado to a 6-3 win over the Dodgers at Coors Field.
"I think the first three or four innings, [De La Rosa's finger] was a non-issue," Rockies catcher Michael McKenry said.
