Leave it to reliever Chad Bettis to restore some order to the Coors Field chaos in the Rockies’ wild, 11-10, 10-inning win over Arizona Thursday afternoon.

The veteran right-hander replaced struggling starter Kyle Freeland in the fourth inning and pitched two scoreless innings, striking out four. It marked five consecutive outings in which Bettis has pitched more than one inning while allowing no runs. That tied for the longest such streak in franchise history, the last time by Adam Ottavino, May 27-June 8, 2013.

“Chad did a nice job, pitching with one day’s rest after pitching two innings, two nights ago,” manager Bud Black said. “And (Jairo) Diaz pitched a big two innings for us. When you get a short start in the middle of a homestand, it’s tough. But our guys responded and there were some big pitches made.”

Despite Freeland’s struggles, and the possibility he could be sent down to Triple-A for a tune-up, there are no plans to put Bettis, a former starter, back into the rotation.

Murphy heating up. Veteran first baseman Daniel Murphy, whose walk-off single lifted the Rockies to victory Thursday, is starting to find his swing.

After a 4-for-37 slump over his first 14 games this month, Murphy hit 3-for-5 Thursday and is batting .400 (12-for-30) over his last nine games.

“You get two choices, you stand up and fight or lay down,” Murphy said. “This league doesn’t feel sorry for you. So I have a choice every day coming in. I can compete like a maniac and not give away a pitch, and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

Blackmon update. Right fielder Charlie Blackmon on the 10-day injured list with a strained right calf, is eligible to come off the IL on Monday. That’s an off day for the Rockies, so Blackmon will likely be back in the lineup on Tuesday when Colorado opens a three-game series at Chicago against the Cubs.

“I think I’ll be ready by then, it’s feeling much better,” Blackmon said.

Footnotes. Both Trevor Story and Ryan McMahon came up a hit short of the cycle. Story was missing a home run and McMahon was missing a triple. … The Rockies became the first team with four walk-off win on a homestand since Kansas City had four walk-offs during a 10-game homestand from July 14-23, 2017.

On Deck

Blue Jays RHP Edwin Jackson (0-2, 9.00 ERA) vs. Rockies RHP German Marquez (5-2, 3.52)

6:40 p.m. Friday, Coors Field

TV: AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain

Radio: 850 AM/94.1 FM

It will be up to Marquez to extend the Rockies’ five-game winning streak. He’s been their best pitcher, but he hasn’t fared particularly well at Coors Field, where he’s 2-1 with a 5.40 ERA in seven starts. He did not factor into the decision in the Rockies’ 8-7 walk-off win over Baltimore on Sunday when allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits over 6 ⅓ innings. Earlier this season, Jackson set a league-record by playing for the 14th different team of his career. Jackson made his major-league debut with the Dodgers in 2003 on his 20th birthday. Since then, the 35-year-old has played for Tampa Bay, Detroit, Arizona, Chicago White Sox, St. Louis, Washington, Chicago Cubs, Atlanta, Miami, San Diego, Baltimore, Oakland and now, the Blue Jays.

Trending: Outfielder Raimel Tapia is riding a career-high nine-game hitting streak, though he has just one hit in each of those games and is batting .220 over that stretch.

At Issue: Colorado pitchers have posted a 5.39 ERA in May, but they have managed to go 15-10. Winning with that kind of pitching, however, is not sustainable.
