Rockies closer John Axford pitched in a non-save situation on Friday, though it was not without a bit of drama.
Axford, who came in with the Rockies up 4-0, allowed an unearned run to score with one out, thanks to an error by left fielder Brandon Barnes. But Axford was able to get the next two batters out to close out the game.
The unearned run ends a seven-game scoreless streak for Axford, who still holds a very fine 0.69 ERA on the season.
