MILWAUKEE — Corey Dickerson and Nolan Arenado hit their first home runs of the season and Kyle Kendrick threw seven shutout innings as the Rockies cruised to a 10-0 Opening Day victory over the Brewers at Miller Park.
Kendrick, the veteran right-hander in his first season for Colorado, scattered seven hits struck out six without a walk.
He even chipped in on offense, scoring a run and accounting for a pair of the Rockies' 16 hits on the day.
Colorado wasted no time getting to Brewers right-hander Kyle Lohse, who gave up three first-inning doubles and found himself in a 4-0 hole after left fielder Corey Dickerson smacked a 1-2 slider into the picnic area in right.
Milwaukee loaded the bases in the second, but shortstop Jean Segura bounced into a double play to end the inning.
The Rockies tagged Lohse for another two-run homer, this time on a 2-1 offering to Arenado.
And the situation just got worse from there. Colorado added two more in the fourth, finally chasing Lohse after an RBI single by right fielder Carlos Gonzalez, who finished the day 2-for-4 with two runs and RBI.
Lohse tied a career-high with eight earned runs on 10 hits with two wild pitches and the two home runs in just 3 1/3 innings of work.
He got little help, too, from his offense, which got into scoring position just once after the second inning.
First baseman Adam Lind's debut was one of the very few bright spots for Milwaukee; he finished the day 3-for-4 but did have one of Milwaukee's three errors on the day.
Third baseman Aramis Ramirez singled in his first two at-bats while right fielder Ryan Braun went hitless in two trips and left the game after five innings.
NOTES: Baseball commissioner emeritus Bud Selig threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Selig, who retired as commissioner earlier this year, owned the Milwaukee Brewers from 1970 until 1992. ... Rockies manager Walt Weiss said he is considering batting his pitchers eighth at some point this season. ... Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa will begin the season on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque. De La Rosa has been battling a groin injury for the last few weeks. He will make a rehab start Thursday and is eligible to come off the disabled list April 14. ... Brewers RHP Jim Henderson began the season on the DL with right-shoulder inflammation. The Brewers plan to have Henderson, their closer in 2013, begin the season later this month at Class A Brevard County and advance him as his shoulder gets stronger. ... Colorado has started each of the last four seasons on the road.
