Rockies' rested bullpen performs well vs. Padres
Axford earns save, Rockies win 0:18 4/23/15: John Axford strikes out Alexi Amarista swinging for the final out of a Rockies' 2-1 win DENVER -- When the Rockies' bullpen has enough rest, manager Walt Weiss has enough talent to give one of his finest relievers a day off.
Before Thursday's finale of a four-game set with the Padres, closer Adam Ottavino informed Weiss he was dealing with slight soreness in his right triceps. Weiss simply turned to John Axford, who fanned two in the ninth to preserve a 2-1 victory.
