Neither starter factored in the decision. D-backs starter Chase Anderson gave up three runs on three hits in six innings with five strikeouts. Rockies starter Kyle Kendrick also allowed three runs, giving up nine hits and striking out six in 5 2/3 innings.

Got him while they could: Blackmon hit his ninth career first-inning, leadoff homer -- his third this year -- and Wilin Rosario added a two-run double with two out that same inning. But the Rockies managed just one additional hit off Anderson before he left after the sixth.
