Diamondbacks’ Koch tosses seven scoreless innings vs. Marlins

Matt Koch allowed just three hits with no walks and six strikeouts across seven scoreless innings in a victory Sunday against Miami. Koch turned in his first quality start since May 11 against the Nationals. It helps that he was facing a terrible Marlins offense.

He has won back-to-back starts and will look to make it a season-high three wins in a row when he toes the slab Saturday night in Colorado. He has actually been better on the road this season, going 1-1 with a 2.03 ERA in three games (two starts), while posting a 3-2 record and 4.32 ERA in six starts at home.

Rockies’ Bettis can’t hang on for win vs. Dodgers

Chad Bettis allowed five earned runs, seven hits and no walks with six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision Sunday against the Dodgers. The kryptonite for Bettis was Max Muncy, as he swatted a solo homer in the first inning and a three-run bomb off of the righty in the third.

Bettis was staked to a 6-1 lead through two innings, but he allowed three in the third and the bullpen yielded six more runs in the final four innings to turn a big early lead into a loss. Bettis will look to turn things around next Saturday against Matt Koch and the visiting Diamondbacks.
