Following nearly nine months of treatment, Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis returned to the mound after his battle with testicular cancer. And what a return it was. After surviving a near-inside the park home run from Atlanta leadoff man Ender Inciarte, Bettis tossed seven innings of shutout baseball and gave the Rockies a 3-0 win.
