MILWAUKEE – Jon Gray got back on track, but once again the Rockies’ bullpen couldn’t.
Three relievers combined to surrender three seventh-inning runs as the Rockies dropped a stomach-turning 6-4 decision to the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
Hernan Perez’s two-run, two-out triple off Carlos Estevez put the Brewers ahead in the seventh, and the Brewers added an insurance run in the eighth on Domingo Santana’s sacrifice fly to ruin a strong start by the rookie Gray.
Gray delivered a redemption start and left after six innings with a 4-2 lead.
Pinch-hitter Orlando Arcia hit a one-out double against Jake McGee, and Jonathan Villar delivered Arcia with a double of his own off Boone Logan.
