CHICAGO (AP) - Marcus Stroman won at Wrigley Field for the first time since signing with the Cubs, pitching no-hit ball into the sixth inning during a 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday.
Stroman (4-7), who signed a $71 million, four-year contract, had been 0-5 with a 7.11 ERA in nine previous starts at Wrigley Field this season. He didn't allow a hit until Ryan McMahon homered with two outs in the sixth, his 17th this season.
Zach McKinstry homered and tripled as the Cubs extended a winning streak to four for the first time since mid-August.
Stroman gave up three hits in six innings with two walks and five strikeouts. Brandon Hughes followed and Manuel Rodriguez pitched a perfect ninth for his second save, completing a four-hitter.
Chicago, wearing dark blue uniforms with "Wrigleyville" on the jerseys, was coming off a sweep of the NL East-leading New York Mets.
Colorado has lost three of four and dropped to a major league worst 22-48 on the road. The Rockies are 40-34 at Coors Field.
German Marquez (8-11) allowed two runs, six hits and two walks in seven innings. He had given up a season-high nine runs against Arizona in his previous start.
McKinstry, hitting .194 coming in, tripled off the center-field wall in the first and scored on Happ's single. McKinstry homered into the basket in left-center in the fifth.
ROCKIES RECALL
Colorado recalled RHP Noah Davis from Double-A Hartford. The move comes day after the Rockies released 14-year veteran RHP Jhoulys Chacin.
CANADIAN DEBUT
Cubs prospect Jared Young, from Prince George, British Columbia, made his major league debut at first base. He went 1 for 4 with a double in the eighth but left six runners on base.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Rockies: INF/OF Kris Bryant, out since July 31, (plantar fasciitis in left foot) said he was able to run on Friday for the first time since being sidelined. He said a platelet rich plasma injection helped. It's uncertain whether the four-time All-Star will return this season.
Cubs: OF Seiya Suzuki was out of the starting lineup with left hand soreness after being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning Wednesday. Suzuki entered in the ninth as a defensive replacement. Manager David Ross said X-rays were negative. ... RHP Adbert Alzolay, out all season with a right shoulder strain, was on the field before Friday's game. Alzolay, who had been on a rehab stint at Triple-A Iowa, said he hoped to be active this weekend.

Colorado RHP Jose Urena (3-6, 5.81) faces Chicago RHP Hayden Wesneski (1-1, 3.12) on Saturday.
