Just back with the team after being promoted from AAA Memphis, reliever Dominic Leone (1-0) pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning for the win.
The visiting Rockies appeared in good position to add to their lead in the second when leadoff hitter Charlie Blackmon reached on a two-base error to open the inning. On the play, Kolten Wong made a stellar play to grab Blackmon's one-hopper but his quick throw to first eluded first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and deflected down the first-base line off Blackmon, who advanced to second base on the play.
