GAME LOG
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Nights like Friday make Colorado Rockies manager Buddy Bell happy. "If every night was like tonight, this would be a great job," Bell said after the Rockies routed the Philadelphia Phillies 10-2. "It's nice to have them every once in a while."
"He threw whatever he wanted," Phillies manager Terry Francona said. "He buckled some guys and continued to throw nothing but good breaking balls." Astacio did not allow a hit until the fourth inning and went seven innings, giving up two runs, six hits and five walks while striking out 10. "It doesn't take much," Hammonds said. "Give him a couple of runs and you see what happens." Andy Ashby (2-4) was pounded for eight runs -- six earned -- and 10 hits in 3 2/3 innings as Philadelphia lost for the sixth time in seven games. "It was just one of those nights where it wasn't very good all the way around," Ashby said. "It's hard to give your team a chance to get some momentum when you are down 10 runs by the fourth inning." Colorado, which has won five of six, outhit the Phillies 14-6. "When you score two in the first inning and continue to score runs, that's real good," Astacio said. The Rockies went ahead in the first on Hammonds' two-run double and made it 4-0 in the third on a sacrifice fly by Darren Bragg and a run-scoring single by Mayne, who was 3-for-4. Hammonds hit another two-run double in the fourth, chasing Ashby. "Obviously, he didn't have his best stuff," Bell said. "We just kept putting the pressure on." After a walk, Steve Schrenk gave up a three-run double to Mayne, making it 9-0. Neifi Perez's single brought home Colorado's final run. Ron Gant hit an RBI single in the fifth for Philadelphia and Kevin Sefcik doubled in a run in the seventh.
