 DENVER (AP) - Jose Cruz Jr. hit two solo homers Thursday night to lift Arizona to a 6-3 victory over Colorado in what began as a rare struggle between pitchers at Coors Field. Cruz hit his first homer in the seventh inning off Shawn Chacon (1-3) for a 3-1 lead, then another in the ninth off reliever David Cortes to make it 4-2. They were the third and fourth home runs of the season for Cruz and this was the 12th multi-homer game of his career.
Two batters after Cruz, Tony Clark hit a two-run homer to add to Arizona's lead.
Arizona starter Russ Ortiz (3-2) allowed eight hits and two runs over six-plus innings of a tight battle with Chacon.
