Rockies Recap: Chad Bettis sharp again; Murphys homer on St. Patrick’s Day

Rockies 7, Cubs 2
Sunday at Sloan Park, Mesa, Ariz.

On the mound: Veteran right-hander Chad Bettis solidified his spot in the rotation with another impressive start. Bettis, using his smarts and array of pitches, was able to escape trouble in both the first and second innings, finishing with a solid line: 4 u2153 innings, one run allowed on four hits with two walks and two strikeouts … Lefty Mike Dunn plunked a batter but tossed another scoreless inning and struck out one. This spring, Dunn has pitched seven innings, allowing two hits, no runs and no walks while fanning 10.
