DENVER -- Staked to a five-run lead in the first, Phil Hughes quickly surrendered most of it Sunday as he struggled to get his footing in his Coors Field debut. But Hughes worked five innings for the Twins, and some late runs gave them breathing room as they beat the Rockies, 13-5, in the rubber game of their series.As Hughes made his Coors Field debut, Rockies starter Brett Anderson, who had been sidelined with a finger injury for three months, made his second career start there. Both found the early going rough. 
Anderson, who came off the 60-day disabled list before the game, showed some rust in his first start since April 12, when he broke his left index finger. He gave up 10 hits and six runs, five of them coming in the first.The Rockies wiped out all but one run of that lead in their first two cracks at Hughes. After the teams traded runs in the fifth, the Twins scored twice to go ahead 8-5 in the seventh. The first of those runs scored on Sam Fuld's sacrifice fly against Rex Brothers, who had loaded the bases with one out on two singles and a walk. Adam Ottavino relieved Brothers, and his first pitch glanced off the glove of catcher Wilin Rosario, allowing a run to score. It was Rosario's 10th passed ball of the season, one more than his 2013 total.Brian Dozier led off the eighth against Ottavino with his 17th homer to make it 9-5.The Twins pounced on Anderson for five runs with two out in the first, but Hughes quickly gave back four of them, two each in the first and second.After giving up a double and single to start the game, Anderson was the beneficiary of a 5-4-2 double play that ended with Dozier, running from third, thrown out at the plate. But Anderson (0-3) then gave up five straight hits to Trevor Plouffe (double), Chris Parmelee (two-run single), Josh Willingham (single), Eduardo Escobar (two-run double) and Fuld (run-scoring single) in the 29-pitch inning.Hughes gave up two two-out runs in a 30-pitch first on Justin Morneau's single and Nolan Arenado's double. After Rosario's single and DJ LeMahieu's double to start the second, the Rockies scored on Anderson's sacrifice and Charlie Blackmon's sacrifice fly.Jack Etkin / Special to MLB.com
