The Rockies bats were quick to prevent Reds starter Wade Miley from replicating the success he had in his no-hitter a week ago.

After tagging Cincinnati ace Luis Castillo for eight runs on Thursday, the Rockies repeated that offensive outburst by getting to Miley for eight runs in just three-plus innings on Friday.

Colorado jumped on Miley for four runs in the third inning and added three a frame later en route to a 9-6 win at Coors Field.

However, the Rockies potentially took a hit to their depth in the victory. Starting right fielder Charlie Blackmon, who went 3-for-3, exited in the fourth inning with a mild groin strain.

“You know, we think it's mild,” Rockies manager Bud Black said postgame. “We'll know more tomorrow. I just talked to him moments ago. He said he feels pretty good. … I think we got him out of there at the right time, but I think we'll know more in the coming days. But we believe it's a mild strain of the groin.”

Without Blackmon, it was right fielder Yonathan Daza, with three RBIs, and center fielder Garrett Hampson, who was a double shy of the cycle, providing much of the offensive production for the lineup, which tallied 15 hits against the Reds.

The hot-hitting Reds came into Coors Field for a four-game series with a batting average among the league's best, but the first two games have seen Colorado’s bats out-muscle Cincinnati. In the first two games of the series, the Rockies have combined to score 22 runs on 30 hits.

Daza, who has slashed .379/.455/.483 in May, said the results from the last two games are a testament to the grind that the Rockies’ lineup has put in.

“We work a lot and we focus a lot,” Daza said in Spanish. “The season is really long, but we’re happy with the [recent success].”

Black said getting hits off of the Reds' top two starters showed the quality of his club’s preparation.

“I thought our plan put together by the coaches, and then executed by the players, was on point,” he said. “So, really proud of the group today and yesterday about executing the plan for us against two really different styles of pitchers. That's what you’ve got to do. Not every pitcher is the same. Not every attack plan is the same.”

But even with the gameplan, some adjustments were made for the Rockies. With Raimel Tapia scratched ahead of the game with a sore thumb, Hampson moved from the seven spot to leadoff.

Black said regardless of where Hampson hits, he shows a lot of skills -- from speed with a triple to start the Rockies’ half of the first inning to his 456-foot homer off of Reds lefty Sean Doolittle.

“He had a good game. You saw what Hampson can do,” the Rockies skipper said.

With the back-to-back offensive outbursts, Hampson said it shows how well the lineup has been clicking in a stretch during which they have won three straight games for the second time this season.

“I think we're starting to settle in,” Hampson said. “The younger guys are starting to get a little more comfortable. That's what it's all about, just experience. Every game, every at-bat [with] something to learn. We're just kind of stringing at-bats together, putting up crooked numbers, which hasn't happened [previously].”
