The Colorado Rockies (13-16, 5 GB NL West) lost 5-1 to the Milwaukee Brewers (16-14, 3 GB NL Central) last night.

The Rockies offense was pathetic with just four hits and the only run came on an RBI single by David Dahl in which Daniel Murphy scored.

For the Brewers, Jesus Aguilar hit a three-run home run in the first inning (scoring Lorenzo Cain and Ryan Braun as well) followed by a solo shot in the third inning.

Orlando Arcia had an RBI single four batters after Aguilar’s bomb in the first inning, scoring Mike Moustakas.

The Brewers had eight hits.

Zach Davies (3-0, 1.38 ERA) picked up the win for the Brewers while Kyle Freeland (2-4, 4.81 ERA) took the loss for the Rockies.

Davies gave up an unearned run in 5 1/3 innings pitched while Freeland allowed five runs and pitched six innings.

The starters I trust for the Rockies are German Marquez, Jon Gray and Antonio Senzatela. Kyle Freeland would be next after that.

The relievers I trust for the Rockies are Bryan Shaw, Jake McGee (injured), Scott Oberg and Wade Davis. Harrison Musgrave, Carlos Estevez and DJ Johnson would be next after that.
