PHOENIX -- Rockies right-handed relief pitcher Jason Motte is sure his attitude and gratitude, after a one-batter cameo in a 11-4 loss to the D-backs at Chase Field on Tuesday night, haven't changed through years of triumph and success and injury.
Motte had to duck Mitch Haniger's hard, eighth-inning line drive but gained an out when second baseman Tony Wolters made the fielding play and throw. It was Motte's first outing since July 25, before he went to the disabled list for the second time this season with right rotator cuff issues.
