Brandon Barnes had three hits, including a two-run homer, and the Colorado Rockies extended Atlanta right-hander Shelby Miller's winless streak to 18 starts with a 6-3 victory over the Braves on Wednesday night.

Miller (5-11) looked like he might break the streak, leading 3-0 in the seventh inning, but he gave up four runs in the eighth before leaving with two outs.

Jose Reyes capped the rally with a two-out triple to right-center that scored Barnes and Charlie Blackmon. Daniel Descalso and Blackmon had the other RBIs in the inning for Colorado.

Simon Castro (1-0) picked up the win in relief for the Rockies, who won two out of three for their first series win at Turner Field since 2005.

Barnes tacked on a two-run homer in the eighth off Edwin Jackson.
