PHOENIX, Arizona - Tomoyuki Sugano earned his fifth win of the season after pitching five innings of two-run ball as the Colorado Rockies routed the Los Angeles Angels 8-2 on Tuesday.
Sugano (5-4) surrendered five hits and struck out five, before Rockies relievers preserved the six-run lead at Angel Stadium.
Kazuma Okamoto hit his 13th homer of the season, his first in three games, as the Toronto Blue Jays were edged by the Atlanta Braves 4-3 for a third straight loss.

"I was behind in the count and just tried to battle," Okamoto said of the homer with a full count. "I thought a walk would have been fine, too, so I'm glad I was able to hit it out."
