Rockies reliever Mark Belisle is no closer, but he still earned a blown save Thursday against Miami with a brutal performance.

The veteran right-hander entered with his team clinging to a 5-4 lead and exited responsible for an 8-5 deficit that proved to be the final score.

Belisle started out fine by retiring two of the first three batters he faced. He then surrendered three of the four singles he gave up, as well as a walk, to throw the game away and raise his earned run average to 18.00.
