The Rockies produced runs in just one inning Thursday night and fell 6-5 to the Atlanta Braves at Coors Field.
Colorado, which hit into three inning-ending double plays, was beginning a seven-game homestand — the first four against Atlanta — after closing out a nine-game trip with a win on Wednesday at Texas.
The Braves (71-62), who had lost their last three games, received clutch swings from third baseman Austin Riley and center fielder Adam Duvall, who each had two RBI on extra-base hits.
A grand slam in the third inning by Rockies right fielder Charlie Blackmon capped a five-running inning to give the hosts a 5-3 lead.
