Rox lead off with liftoff as Gray cools Cubs

CHICAGO -- After spending much of April searching for missing pieces that separated him from dominance, Rockies right-hander Jon Gray pieced it together for seven innings Tuesday night in a 3-1 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Gray (3-4) struck out six and held the Cubs to three hits and one run -- an Anthony Rizzo homer on the first pitch. Gray was pitching the whole time with a lead, anyhow, because Charlie Blackmon and David Dahl opened the game with home runs off Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks (2-2), and Nolan Arenado went deep in the fourth.
