 DENVER (AP) - Garrett Atkins hit a three-run homer, Ryan Spilborghs had three RBIs in his return to the majors and the Colorado Rockies gave Aaron Cook some rare run support in an 10-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs Friday night.
Colorado had scored three runs or less in six straight games to match a team record and hadn't helped Cook (8-10) much all season, giving him 4.07 runs per nine innings — sixth-worst in the majors.
Choo Freeman led off the eighth inning with a homer to center off Scott Eyre, then pinch hitter Jason Smith followed Danny Ardoin's single with a two-run homer, a 437-foot shot that nearly reached the second deck in right-center. Colorado finished with 12 hits.
