"Brett Myers schooled Jorge De La Rosa on Saturday night at Coors Field. The Phillies' veteran right-hander was far from perfect, giving up home runs to the Rockies' Troy Tulowitzki, Garrett Atkins and Clint Barmes. But he tutored De La Rosa on how to endure and ultimately thrive. The result was an 8-4 Philadelphia victory that ended the Rockies' three-game winning streak. "I have a lot of work to do, and I have to throw more strikes," said De La Rosa, who needed 99 pitches to get through 4 2/3 innings. "I got behind in some counts, and I paid for it." Though Myers got tagged, he never got rattled, improving to 7-0 against the Rockies and 5-0 at Coors Field. Myers' composure ultimately was the difference between him and

De La Rosa. All of the damage the Phillies inflicted against De La Rosa came with two outs. Indeed, seven of Philadelphia's eight runs came with two outs. "Jorge did some good things, but he's got work to do," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We've seen him handle things better at times, but it's something he's working through and getting more experienced at." The Rockies' talented but erratic left-hander sailed through his first two innings. He whiffed Ryan Howard with a gorgeous 85 mph changeup to end the first. In the second, he rang up Raul Ibañez with a blistering 95 mph fastball. But the third inning showed why De La Rosa remains the No. 1 project of Rockies mental skills coach Ronn Svetich. After two quick outs, Jimmy Rollins reached on an infield single and Shane Victorino followed with a sharp single to left. Suddenly, De La Rosa transformed from cool customer into a fidgeting pitcher. He walked Chase Utley on four pitches before giving up a three-run double to Howard. A 2-0 lead for the Rockies became a 3-2 Phillies advantage. To his credit, De La Rosa righted himself with a perfect fourth. But he gave up consecutive two-out singles to Utley and Howard in the fifth. That was it for De La Rosa. Enter reliever Ryan Speier. He hung a slider to Jayson Werth, who banged it into the right-field corner for a two-run triple and a 5-3 lead for the Phillies."
