Rockies get closer to the Dodgers

Jason Marquis gave up three hits over seven innings, Troy Tulowitzki and Clint Barmes homered and the Colorado Rockies beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 10-1, on Thursday.

Dexter Fowler had four hits and scored three runs, and Barmes finished with three hits and three RBIs for the Rockies, who won the final two games of the three-game series.

Colorado leads the NL wild-card race by 1 1/2 games over San Francisco and is five games behind the NL West-leading Dodgers.
