The Philadelphia Phillies (5-3) grew their early season win streak to four games as they came out on the right side of a rare pitchers\u2019 duel in Denver, defeating the Colorado Rockies (2-6) by a score of 2-1 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Jesus Luzardo bounced back from his rough first start with a 6.2 IP 11 K gem.\u00a0The Rockies scattered five hits and scored once against Luzardo during his 99 pitch performance.<\/p>\n
The Rockies opted for a left-handed opener in Brennan Bernardino, who didn\u2019t make it out of the first inning as the Phils opened the scoring two batters into the game via a leadoff walk by Trea Turner and a broken bat double by Kyle Schwarber.<\/p>\n
Colorado tied it up in the bottom of the third on a pair of singles by Troy Johnston and Brett Sullivan.<\/p>\n

Rockies\u2019 young right handed starter, Chase Dollander, ate the majority of innings in the game from the third into the seventh and largely kept the Phillies\u2019 offense at bay.<\/p>\n
They finally cracked him in the top of the fifth inning as Brandon Marsh led off with a single followed by a JT Realmuto walk. Marsh came in to score the eventual winning run on a Turner double. Trea finished with two hits, a walk, a run scored and a run batted in, not to mention several solid defensive plays.<\/p>\n
Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Justin Crawford each collected a hit while Bryce Harper and Adolis Garcia failed to reach base. Crawford notched his first of many career stolen bases and Garcia did contribute with a nice running catch.<\/p>\n
Jose Alvarado came on in relief of Luzardo with two outs and a man on second in the bottom of the seventh and walked the next batter before getting out of the jam with a strikeout of Kyle Karros.<\/p>\n
