Colorado pitcher Jeff Francis held the league's highest-scoring team in check, and the Rockies took advantage of one shaky inning by Cole Hamels to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in Game 1 of their NL playoff series Wednesday.

Making just the second postseason appearance in the franchise's 15-year history, the Rockies played like October regulars. Colorado posted only its second postseason victory, the other coming in 1995.

Matt Holliday, his chin still cut up from the face-first slide that won Monday's wild-card tiebreaker over San Diego, hit a solo home run. Colorado carried over its momentum from that victory, and won for the 15th time in 16 games.
