Armando Benitez blew his fifth save of the year, giving up two runs to the Rockies in the top of the eighth inning to hand Colorado a 4-3 victory. With a runner on first on a bunt hit, Holliday doubled to drive in the tying run. That’s been Armando’s problem all year. With men on base he’s allowed a .487 slugging percentage, so the base runners who get on move a long way.
The Rockies move back to 3 1/2 games behind the Diamondbacks.
