Rockies starting pitcher Jordan Lyles got an early cushion Wednesday against the Marlins, and that was enough to earn him a win in his season debut.
Lyles, starting in place of the injured Tyler Chatwood, pitched five innings to get his win. He allowed four runs on five hits, including a two-run home run by Giancarlo Stanton in the sixth inning before he was pulled. Lyles also struck out five batters while walking one and throwing 53 of 82 pitches for strikes in the 6-5 win.
Lyles will probably make at least one more spot start in Chatwood's place, likely Monday against the White Sox.
