Rockies Rally Late to Clip Chicago
In a low-scoring contest between the Colorado Rockies and the Chicago Cubs, Ruben Velazquez, who is tied for 10th in the NL in innings pitched with 153.0, proved to be the difference. The Colorado right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Rockies win. Colorado improves to 77-47 with the win. They lead their division by 7 games.

Colorado used the timely hitting of Hsi-chuen Tian to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rockies on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This is a great group to be a part of, and it's a big win for us," Tian told the Colorado Citizen.
