Third baseman Nolan Arenado, who was 1-for-12 in the first three games of the series against the Phillies, did not make a start Thursday but did contribute an RBI single as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning.
Utility infielder Daniel Descalso made his first start at third base in a Rockies uniform.
Mystery starter. The Rockies have yet to announce who will be their starting pitcher in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants at Coors Field. Right-hander Christian Bergman, the Rockies' long reliever, was an option until he pitched in relief Thursday against the Phillies.
