Early on, the bats were silent.

By the time the Colorado Rockies were done, the bats were booming in a 13-2 blowout win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night at Coors Field.

Trailing 1-0 heading to the fifth, the Rockies scored six times, highlighted by Trevor Story's three-run home run.

Then in the seventh, they exploded for seven more runs, with David Dahl's grand slam the big blow.

Rockies right-hander German Marquez was outstanding again. He went seven innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits with two walks and 11 strikeouts.

It is the fourth consecutive start that Marquez has fanned at least 11 batters.

The Rockies banged out 17 hits and five batters had at least two each. Four different Rockies drove in at least two runs.
