Rox roar atop West, push back D-backs in rout

Rockies starter German Marquez had a quiet 11-K night, allowing just one earned run in the shadow of the Rockies’ biggest offensive output in two months, with Trevor Story’s sixth home run in the last seven games and David Dahl’s first career grand slam leading the way to an 13-2 defeat of the D-backs. The win made a huge statement as the Rockies reversed the momentum after losing the series rubber match to the Dodgers on Sunday, and lengthened the Rockies’ lead in the National League West to 1 1/2 games over the Dodgers and 3 1/2 games over the D-backs.
