Colorado snapped a 4-game losing streak and it was only their 39th win for the season.
Orlando Arcia had 3 hits and an RBI for the Rockies while Braxton Fulford had 2 hits and an RBI.
Ian Happ had a 3-run home run for the Cubs while Kyle Tucker had 3 hits and Seiya Suzuki a 2-run double.
Daniel Palencia took the loss in relief.
The Cubs remain 6 1/2 games back in the National League Central Division behind Milwaukee. The Brewers lost to the Blue Jays on Sunday 8-4.
The Cubs open up a 3-game series Monday afternoon at Wrigley Field against the Atlanta Braves.
Chicago also signed veteran first baseman Carlos Santana to a 1-year contract and claimed pitcher Aaron Civale off waivers.
Santana was released by Cleveland on Thursday while Civale had pitched for the White Sox this season.
