The Rockies' offense, meanwhile, did its part. The catalyst was a three-run fourth, during which Colorado banged out five hits in a six-batter span, including RBI knocks from Daniel Descalso, Brandon Barnes and DJ LeMahieu. Carlos Gonzalez put on the final touches with a long solo homer in the fifth. All that damage came off Braves All-Star Shelby Miller (5-5), who gave up five runs and a season-high 11 hits over five innings.
