TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) _ Larry Walker and Terry Shumpert each hit solo homers and Colorado's bullpen finally had a good day as the Rockies beat the Anaheim Angels 6-2 Monday.

Seeking some consistency from his relievers, Rockies manager Buddy Bell used six pitchers and they combined on a seven-hitter. The Angels did not get a runner past second base after the third inning.

Troy Glaus and Scott Spiezio drove in Anaheim's runs, and Darin Erstad had two singles to extend his hitting streak to 15 games.

Rockies second baseman Mike Lansing left in the first inning after fouling a ball off his left ankle. Lansing played just 35 games last season before having surgery to alleviate a bulging disk in his lower back.

Bell said Lansing probably will take Tuesday off, and he did not consider the injury serious.

``I'm going to be fine,'' Lansing said. ``Nothing to be alarmed about.''

Brian Cooper had his best start of the spring for Anaheim. The right-hander gave up Walker's home run in the fourth and left with a 2-1 lead in the sixth.
