The surprising Colorado Rockies have been getting the job done, but they haven’t been making it easy on themselves. Colorado, which has won five of its last six, blew a nine-run lead before holding on to win a crazy game over the New York Yankees on Tuesday by a score of 13-10. Colorado can complete a brief two-game interleague sweep of the Yanks on Wednesday afternoon.

Angels to three runs over 6.5 innings in his last outing, but that was the first time he’s allowed fewer than four runs over his last four starts.
Bettis (4-5, 5.85) is stuck in an ugly four-start winless streak, but he recorded a no-decision in his last outing against the Pirates despite allowing five runs over three innings. Bettis has given up six home runs while allowing 22 runs over 16.5 innings in his last four starts.
