Colorado's offense has been powered by outfielder Charlie Blackmon and third baseman Nolan Arenado, who have combined to swat 15 home runs. Kyle Schwarber tripled with one out in the seventh, but Gray struck out Victor Caratini and Jason Heyward fouled out to end the inning.
"We were kind of concerned that those were pretty good pitches and we weren't getting the calls", Maddon said. "And on a night like this, if you hit the ball in the air, the wind kind of rewards you".
Baez enjoyed batting against lefty pitching at home last season, slashing.358/.397/.679 in 58 such plate appearances (compared to his overall season line of.273/.317/.480).
The Rockies have struggled offensively during their recent skid but got a boost Monday when right fielder Carlos Gonzalez was activated after missing nine games with a right hamstring strain. It was Dahl's first homer of the season.
"Just take a step back", Hendricks said.

J Dey murder: Chhota Rajan, 8 others convicted; 2 journos acquitted
Rajan feared that the books would show him in poor light. "She provided vital information about Dey to Rajan". The police cracked the case within a fortnight and arrested seven sharpshooters of the Chhota Rajan gang.
The opening salvo was Black's 29th leadoff homer of his career, but his first this season. "I said the other day, too, when we were close to.500, I said I'd rather have the record we had but with the growth and certain guys facing some hard stretches and coming out of it and making adjustments that I think will serve them well for the rest of the season". Colorado is 3-4 ATS over its last seven games and the total has gone under in six of those seven.
Anthony Rizzo's ballyhooed return to the leadoff spot for the day Tuesday had the desired sudden impact of a leadoff home run in the first.
The Cubs' five consecutive starts without an earned run marked the longest streak for the franchise since another five-gamer 106 years ago. Nobody complains when things are going well. As Maddon himself said on Tuesday, he likes to put some of his stars up top when they're in a bit of a funk to "let them lighten up a little bit and just go play". "He was missing barrels and making good pitches and that lazy flyball was tough to come by". Right-handed setup man Adam Ottavino pitched a flawless eighth, striking out one. Colorado was beaten 3-0 on Sunday by the Miami Marlins, who got a gem from starter Caleb Smith.
This is one of the harder games to call on Wednesday in my opinion.
- No ER allowed by starters in last 33.2 IP.
Kyle Freeland allowed just three hits with two walks and eight strikeouts over seven scoreless innings for his first win of the season Tuesday against the Padres. He makes his third career start against the Rockies seeking his first win against them.
