The Gray wolf howled — and the Rockies had one of those offensive innings where even the longest beer line still gets you back to the seats for some action — as Colorado beat Miami 11-3 in the series opener at Coors Field on Friday.
Jon Gray turned in a dominating performance, allowing only one run through seven innings while striking out a season-high dozen batters. And the Colorado offense stunned Marlins starter Wei-Yin Chen for six runs in the fourth, building a huge lead the Rockies wouldn’t come close to relinquishing in a fourth straight win.
Tom Murphy got things rolling for Colorado in the second, doubling home Ian Desmond.
