Jace Archuleta was huge no matter where he played even without the win. He looked comfortable on the mound, tossing three innings while giving up just one earned (and one unearned) run off two hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in six consecutive appearances. He was also solid in the batter's box, going 1-for-3 with one home run and four RBI. That home run was his first of the season.
Archuleta wasn't the only one making solid contact as six players wound up with at least one hit. One of them was Cory Douglas, who went 1-for-3 with one home run and two RBI.
