Rockies relief pitcher John Axford stopped the bleeding in the ninth inning of his team's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
Axford replaced Boone Logan, who allowed two runs and didn't record an out in the ninth inning, and shut down the Diamondbacks' hope of a rally. Axford threw 25 pitches, allowed a hit and struck out a batter before closing out the game and earning his 13th save of the year.
Axford (1-1) has a 2.42 ERA with 21 strikeouts and 10 walks in 22 1/3 innings this year.
