ATLANTA — Atlanta's Mike Minor paid for leaving pitches over the middle of the plate, even against the Rockies' weakened lineup. Minor gave up homers to Michael Cuddyer and Troy Tulowitzki and the Braves couldn't continue their success against Juan Nicasio in a 3-1 loss to Colorado on Saturday. The Rockies were without some of their big bats.
