MIAMI, July 20 (UPI) -- Jeff Francis tossed seven shutout innings and Melvin Mora drove in five runs Tuesday and the Colorado Rockies blasted Florida 10-0.

Francis (3-3) baffled the Marlins on three hits, issuing no walks and fanning seven to notch his first win since June 13.

Jhoulys Chacin and Randy Flores each tossed a scoreless frame to complete the three-hit shutout.

Mora delivered a bases-clearing double to highlight a six-run Rockies uprising in the third inning and added a two-run homer in the fifth, going 3-for-5 with three runs scored, as Colorado evened a four-game series with Florida at a game apiece.

Marlins starter Nate Robertson (6-8) was pounded for eight runs on six hits over five innings.
