Rockies Slap 2-1 Loss on Firestorm
Arizona wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Zack Greinke, falling to the Colorado Rockies, 2-1. Greinke threw 8.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Ray Liotta was the winning pitcher. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 1 run on 10 hits, with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. Mitchell Boggs recorded the save for Colorado, his 10th of the season.

Colorado used a well-timed hit by Brett Gardner to capture the win. The right fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rockies ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Colorado manager Bob Bailor said.

At 23-41, Colorado is in last place in the NL West Division.
