Rockies closer John Axford had been lights-out since returning to that role. But he was charged with his sixth blown save of the season after giving up a run on two hits and a walk in the bottom of the 11th inning Tuesday in an eventual victory over the Dodgers.
Axford was the ninth pitcher to enter the game for the Rockies on a night in which manager Walt Weiss burned through a MLB-record 13 pitchers. It was the first run Axford had allowed since Aug. 13.
