DENVER -- Rain arrived at the right time for Rockies starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick on Tuesday night. The D-backs had hit consecutive homers in the second inning to add to Kendrick's rising total yielded, and Colorado trailed by two when the grounds crew rolled out the tarp in the third.

When play resumed after 38 minutes, Kendrick pitched much better. Yes, he yielded another homer to bring his total to a Major League-most 21, but he held the damage to four runs over six innings for his first Coors Field win,a 10-5 Rockies victory.
