BALTIMORE — Chad Bettis is back.
The Rockies’ right-hander, so good to start the season, so lost in May and June, pitched like an ace Tuesday night in a 6-3 victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards. It helped his cause that the Rockies knocked around often untouchable Baltimore starter Chris Tillman.
Colorado, two games into a crucial East Coast road trip as next Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline looms, has won five of its last six games to climb to four games under .500 (48-52).
Fresh off his gem against the Braves last Friday at Coors Field — one run allowed on four hits over 6 u2154 innings — Bettis showed that game was no fluke.
