DENVER — The recipe for the Rockies to somehow get back into contention amid their May freefall played out like clockwork on Wednesday at Coors Field.
In a 5-3 victory that broke a 12-game losing streak to the Giants, Colorado got solid starting pitching, a lights-out-performance by the bullpen, error-free defense and one huge hit. First baseman C.J. Cron blasted a 454-foot, two-run homer that broke a tie in the eighth inning.
“I like the fact that we played a good, clean game,” Black said. “When we play we clean game, we win. Look back at our wins, that’s usually how it’s drawn up.”
