Miami – Kyle Kendrick took a fastball off his right arm trying to bunt in the second inning, but he still pitched seven innings, and the Phillies extended their winning streak to a season-best six games.

Rockies 7, D’backs 3, 10 inn.

Phoenix – Cory Sullivan hit a two-run single in the eighth inning, then scored the go-ahead run on a 10th-inning error.
