Rockies’ bats fall silent after big night

DENVER — Seemingly no Reds pitcher could figure out the Rockies’ lineup Tuesday night, but John Lamb had no such problem Wednesday, as he turned in seven strong innings in a 7-2 win at Coors Field.

Lamb was excellent, allowing just one run on six hits with a walk and two strikeouts while working a career high in innings en route to his first win this season. Colorado scored a season-high 17 runs on Tuesday, but it could not manage much offense after DJ LeMahieu’s first-inning RBI double. After the first inning, Lamb never faced more than four batters in an inning, with only one runner advancing past first base.

Cincinnati jumped on Rockies starter Tyler Chatwood early, scoring four runs in the first two frames. Joey Votto drove in his fifth RBI of the series on a groundout in the first, Ramon Cabrera added a run on a fielder’s choice and Billy Hamilton drove in two more on a double up the middle.
