Blackburn did not factor into the decision in a win over the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks over six innings while striking out six.

Blackburn gave up one run in the opening frame after surrendering a leadoff single to start things off, but he settled in nicely from that point on, allowing just one unearned run over the next five innings. It marked the right-hander's second quality start in a row since being traded to the Mets last month, and he's also recorded six strikeouts in each of those outings. Furthermore, Blackburn has allowed just one earned run in three of his last five starts (dating back to May 5), going 3-1 over that interrupted stretch.
