De La Rosa's efficiency saves taxed bullpen

Lately, the problem with dubbing the Rockies' rotation "Jorge, then let us pray," is De La Rosa's command hasn't exactly been divine. In his last start on July 27 against the Cubs, he began with three perfect innings, but gave up six runs on five hits and two walks, and didn't make it through the fourth.

But Saturday, he pitched around seven hits, struck out four and did not walk a batter, and held the Cards to two runs -- one on Jhonny Peralta's two-out homer in the fourth -- as he helped the Rockies end their losing streak at three games.
