DENVER – The Colorado Rockies defeated Jake Arita, who was also injured in his debut game with the San Diego Padres, who lost 7-5 Wednesday night.
CJ Cron had two hits and three runs, while Trevor Storey made it to the Rockies, who scored five runs in 3 1/3 innings off Arrieta, before leaving with a left hamstring condition.

The Rockies took a 3-0 lead in the first half, thanks to a brace from Crohn and another from Ryan McMahon.
Ben Bowden (2-2) allowed one run in one round. Daniel Bard scored the ninth goal in saving him 20 on 26 chances.
For Padres, Dominican Fernando Tates 4-0, Machado 5-1 with the Reserve Bank of India.
For Roque, Venezuelan Carlos Gonzalez 1-0.
