PHOENIX (AP) The return of Jon Gray from the disabled list couldn’t have come at a better time for the Colorado Rockies.
Gray struck out 10 over six innings in his first start since April and rookie Raimel Tapia hit his first career home run, helping the Rockies end an eight-game skid with a 6-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Gray, making his first start since April 13, allowed two runs on seven hits for his first victory of the season. Colorado’s opening day starter, Gray broke a bone in his left foot in the fourth inning of his third start of the season and went on the disabled list.
