Miguel Olivo hit a two-run drive off Lackey in the second inning for his 10th homer and Colorado added two more in the third. Brad Hawpe drove in a run with a groundout and Seth Smith's sacrifice fly made it 4-0.
The Red Sox sliced their deficit in half in the fourth. One strike away from escaping a two-on jam, Jimenez twice shook off catcher Olivo before throwing a curveball that Nava sent into the gap in right-center.
Jimenez made it 5-2 in the fourth when he drove in Clint Barmes with a single to right. Catcher Victor Martinez was shaken up on the play at the plate but stayed in the game.
Tracy insisted before the game that his ace's health wasn't an issue and that he never considered pushing back his start.
"When he left yesterday he was already starting to feel better and actually didn't want to leave," Tracy said.
NOTES: Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa (finger tendon) made a rehab start for Triple-A Colorado Springs at Reno, Nev. The Rockies hope to have him back in the rotation on July 7. Also, RHP Taylor Buchholz (offseason elbow surgery) flew out of Denver to begin his rehab assignment with Colorado Springs on Thursday. ... Red Sox RHP Josh Beckett (lower back strain) threw 55 pitches during a bullpen session in which he used his entire repertoire. He's scheduled to pitch a simulated game on Saturday in San Francisco.
