DENVER -- Rockies right-hander Jon Gray showed up at Coors Field on Friday night in white shoes, and they stayed as clean as they could on a 12-inch mound. His kicks were much like his performance.
Gray fanned 12 in seven innings and yielded just one run as the Rockies, who returned to .500 for the first time since June 9, extended their longest home win streak of the season to four games with an 11-3 victory over the Marlins.
The performance -- on a night when Nolan Arenado homered for the fourth straight game, a two-run shot in the fourth inning -- was long in the waiting.
