DENVER — When Jorge De La Rosa is on, hitters beware: He’s got some of the nastiest stuff in the Majors.

De La Rosa (2-3) was razor sharp Thursday night, using his fastball and slider to strike out a career-high 10 batters, and Jeff Baker hit his third home run in as many days to lead the Rockies to a 6-3 win over the Indians at Coors Field. The Rockies have won 11 of 15 and swept a team for the first time since April 7-9.

At 31-42, the Rockies are the closest to .500 since May 25, when they were 20-30.

De La Rosa got off to a shaky start, giving up a two-run home run to Ben Francisco in the first inning just as rain began to fall. However, the weather quickly cleared up, and so did De La Rosa. He struck out two batters in each of the first five innings and didn’t give up another run until Casey Blake hit a solo home run to center field in the sixth.
