Texas, trailing 5-2, scored four runs in the top of the eighth inning on its way to a 7-5 victory over the Rockies on Tuesday afternoon at Coors Field.

Chatwood struck out a season-high eight batters, his most in a game since July 26, 2013. He also did not walk a batter for the first time since May 27 against the Giants. In his previous 10 starts, he averaged 6.28 walks per nine innings.
The rally started with three straight one-out singles from Ian Desmond, Rougned Odor and Carlos Beltran, the last of which was an RBI knock to make it 5-3.
