SPRING TRAINING
Friday: Rockies (Micah Bowie) at Diamondbacks (Doug Davis), 6:10 p.m., Chase Field
Thursday: Rockies 6, Angels (ss) 2
Pitching Recap: Rockies’ right-hander Kip Wells, demoted to the bullpen last week, got the start and gave up a run and three hits in three innings. He lowered his spring ERA to 4.71.
He’s slated to come out of the Rockies’ bullpen after going 7-17 with a 5.70 ERA in 26 starts with St. Louis in 2007.
Hitting recap: Troy Tulowitzki, Garrett Atkins and Chris Iannetta hit home runs.
The Rockies had 11 hits, including Tulowitzki’s sixth homer of the spring. Iannetta hit his fourth and Atkins his first.
Quotable: “His fastball was improved,” Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said of Wells. “His fastball was the best I’ve seen from him all spring. He had a good mix on his pitches. All his stuff was sharp.”
