DENVER -- The Rockies may be eliminated from playoff contention, but they still have some unfinished business to take care of this September. And on Friday, they crossed two goals off their list.The Rockies dropped the D-backs, 15-3, Friday at Coors Field to move out of last place in the National League West for the first time since July 13. The win also ensures the Rockies remain as one of the two Major League franchises -- along with the Angels -- without a 100-loss season on their resume. 
Three Rockies drove in multiple runs, most notably Michael Cuddyer, who finished his night 3-for-5 with a career-high seven RBIs. His first four RBIs came on one swing in the sixth as Cuddyer took Eury De La Rosa deep for the eighth grand slam of his career. He added a bases-clearing double in the eighth to cap his night.D-backs right-hander Chase Anderson came into the final start of his rookie season having held the Rockies to one run over six innings in each of his three previous starts against them.Entering with a 3-0 record against Colorado, the Rockies knocked him around for six runs on nine hits in five innings.Rafael Ynoa ended the fifth inning -- and Anderson's night -- by just missing an inside-the-park home run on a ball that rattled around near the out-of-town scoreboard long enough to score two. Ynoa finished 4-for-5 with three RBIs.Wilin Rosario followed up Thursday night's walk off homer with a 3-for-4, two-RBI performance, extending his hitting streak to a season-best seven games.Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles loaded the bases by allowing three singles in the first but buckled down to limit the D-backs to just one run in the frame. He'd end up going a full six innings from there, scattering nine hits for just two runs to push his record to 7-3.Cody Ulm / MLB.com
