DENVER — C.J. Cron continues to pulverize major-league pitching and he’s a gigantic reason why the Rockies are off to an 8-3 start.
The stocky first baseman hit a two-out, three-run homer to left field in the seventh inning off right-hander Jeurys Familia, lifting the Rockies to a 6-5 victory over Philadelphia Tuesday night at Coors Field.
Cron’s homer, his sixth, drove in Charlie Blackmon, who walked, and Kris Bryant, who reached on an infield single. Cron’s homer traveled only 407 feet, his shortest of the season.
