Greinke (8-4) allowed four runs on nine hits while striking out seven over 7.1 innings during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Rockies. He did not issue a walk.
Aside from the mistake pitch that Carlos Gonzalez hammered for a home run in the fourth inning, Greinke was mostly effective against the Rockies through the first seven frames Tuesday. Manager Torey Lovullo sent his ace back out to the mound with a 3-2 lead in the eighth, but Greinke was quickly pulled from the game after allowing back-to-back singles to Charlie Blackmon and DJ LeMahieu before Nolan Arenado roped a go-ahead two-run double off the right field wall. Greinke will look to rebound during his next scheduled start against the Phillies on Sunday.
