DENVER — Sneaky-pull pop, a power surge and the safety net of key double plays provided the Rockies with a 9-7 victory over Washington on Thursday afternoon at Coors Field.
The Rockies took two of three games from the Nationals, finishing their homestand 5-1 and improving to 15-10.
“Sneaky-pull pop” is manager Bud Black’s phrase for home runs that come from unexpected players.
