Rockies ride quality start by Austin Gomber, five-run inning to 5-2 defeat of Nationals

DENVER -- On a cold Wednesday night at Coors Field, the Rockies uncorked a five-run inning and capitalized on a quality start from southpaw Austin Gomber in a 5-2 defeat of the Nationals.

Colorado bounced back in Game 2 against Washington after getting blown out in the series opener. Gomber allowed two runs on seven hits in six-plus innings, while Tyler Kinley held the lead and Daniel Bard earned his seventh save of the season.

Cesar Hernandez gave Washington the lead on an RBI single off Gomber in the third, but Colorado got to Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin in the fourth, partially thanks to shoddy defense.
