Colorado 5, Mariners 3

Another day of being outperformed by Rockies' pitchers, and not in moundsmanship. Jason Marquis made a acrobatic throw home on a grounder to cut down what would've been the M's first run, then drew a bases-loaded walk from Morrow to get the Rockies' first. (Morrow: 3 IP, 4 BB, 3 H. Back to AAA, fine friend.) Then, after Lopez tied the game in the eighth with a homer, two Mark Lowe throwing errors helped the Rockies go back on top to stay. M's 30-32, 5.5 GB. Box score. Next game Sun @ COL, 12:10 p.m.; Vargas vs. Hammel.
