Porter made the game-winning free thro

DENVER -- Jason Motte smacked his glove and then screamed into it as he walked off the mound chomping his gum.This was fun, he said.Only a reliever would think that after escaping a major jam.Trevor Story hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Colorados bullpen stranded the tying run on third in two straight innings and the Rockies held off Tampa Bay 7-4 on Monday night, extending the Rays road skid to 11 in a row.Storys 22nd homer of the season gave the Rockies a 5-1 lead. The bullpen made it hold up to make a winner out of Tyler Anderson (2-3), who ran into trouble in the seventh and surrendered three of his four runs.Reliever Adam Ottavino got two outs in the seventh with the tying run on third. Motte allowed a leadoff triple to Evan Longoria in the eighth before striking out the side.Adrenaline is kind of what drives me, Motte said. I love those situations, not that I want to go out there and do it every single time.Ottavino looked like his old self in his most meaningful performance since being activated from the 60-day DL on July 5. He missed most of last season after Tommy John surgery.We were able to do a good job, Ottavino said. Motte did a great job behind me. That was the story of the game.No arguments from the Rays.Weve got to find a way to get those guys in, Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. The guys know that. Theyre doing everything they could to get the big hit, the big fly ball, it just didnt happen. I think you saw Motte dial it up there.The Rockies added two runs in the eighth and Carlos Estevez closed it out in the ninth for his sixth save.Drew Smyly (2-11) had another rough outing, surrendering five runs in five innings to remain winless over his last 10 starts.I didnt pitch very well today, Smyly said.Tampa Bays 11th straight road loss is the third-longest streak in team history. The club record is 13 in a row in 2002.Storys homer gave the Rockies a four-run cushion, which appeared more than enough for Anderson. The lefty surrendered an RBI triple to Longoria in the first inning -- after a 32-minute rain delay before first pitch -- but settled in until the wheels came off in the seventh. In the inning, Tim Beckham had an RBI triple, followed by a run-scoring single by Luke Maile and an RBI double from Nick Franklin.Exit, Anderson. Enter, Ottavino.With a runner on third, Ottavino struck out Logan Forsythe and got Kevin Kiermaier to ground out and end the threat.Then, it was Mottes turn. After Longoria lined a triple to the deep center, Motte struck out former Rockies outfielder Corey Dickerson swinging, followed by Logan Morrison and Steven Souza Jr. on called third strikes.Unbelievable, said Anderson, who allowed four runs in 6 1/3 innings for his second straight win. If you want to win games, you have a bullpen like that.That was pretty special tonight.TRAINERS ROOMRays: INF Steve Pearce (strained right hamstring) is expected to be activated from the DL on Tuesday. ... RHP Chase Whitley threw a scoreless inning for Class A Charlotte on Monday in his first game since Tommy John surgery early last season. In the same contest, RHP Brad Boxberger (oblique) allowed a homer in an inning of work.Rockies: OF Gerardo Parras sprained left ankle felt a little stiff, after a recent workout in Atlanta, MGR Walt Weiss said. He didnt have a setback, want to make that clear, Weiss added.FAMILIAR FACESDickerson never really got to say goodbye to his Colorado teammates after he was traded to Tampa Bay on Jan. 28 for reliever Jake McGee. So Dickerson wandered over the Rockies way Monday.It was pretty good to say, `Whats up? and be able to see old faces, said Dickerson, who didnt start. Im pretty close to all of them. It will be cool to compete and play against them.McGee felt the same way about his Tampa Bay buddies.I have a new pitch Ill show them, he joked.UP NEXTTampa Bay lefty Blake Snell (1-4) makes his first interleague start Tuesday at Coors Field.
