DENVER (AP) -- Nicholas Castellanos had three hits, including a two-run triple, and Jordan Zimmermann rebounded from early trouble to help the Detroit Tigers beat the Colorado Rockies 4-3 on Monday night.
The Rockies stranded 11 baserunners as they began a nine-game homestand. Their lead for the second NL wild-card spot dwindled to three games over idle Milwaukee.
Zimmermann (8-11) went five innings and allowed three runs -- all in the second inning. He settled down to move his career mark to 7-0 against the Rockies in 11 career starts.
Shane Greene struck out two of three in the ninth for his sixth save. He fanned Mark Reynolds to end the game.
Antonio Senzatela (10-5) never found his command in allowing four runs over 3 2/3 innings.
