Kubel lifted a sacrifice fly and Chris Johnson added an RBI single to cap the uprising.

Brad Bergesen (2-0) picked up the win with two scoreless innings in relief of starter Patrick Corbin, who yielded five runs and nine hits over three frames. J.J. Putz struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 31st save in 36 opportunities.

Andrew Brown and Wilin Rosario hit solo home runs for the Rockies, who have dropped 15 of 17 and need to win five of their final 11 games to avoid their first 100-loss season.
