DENVER, May 29 (UPI) -- Chris Iannetta belted a pair of homers and Juan Nicasio got the win in his first major league start Saturday in the Colorado Rockies' 15-4 rout of St. Louis.
Iannetta, who went 4-for-5, pounded two-run homers in the fourth and eighth innings and also drove in two runs with a single during a six-run Rockies uprising in the first.
Ryan Spilborghs racked up four RBI highlighted by a two-run triple, and Eric Young went 3-for-6 with a run batted in as Colorado unleashed an 18-hit attack and broke a four-game losing skid.
Nicasio (1-0) was impressive in his big league debut after being called up from Class AA Tulsa. The 24-year-old right-hander held the Cardinals to only one unearned run on six hits over seven innings, walking two and fanning two.
St. Louis hurler Jamie Garcia (5-1), meanwhile, was tagged with his first loss in 11 starts this season. He was roughed up for 12 runs (11 earned) on 11 hits in 3 1/3 frames.
Allen Craig drove in a pair of runs for the Cards.
