The Rockies and Cubs will play the rubber game of the three-game series on Sunday afternoon.
Charlie Blackmon busted his slump in a big way.
The Rockies had produced only four baserunners through the first eight innings until C.J. Cron coaxed a one-out walk out of reliever Adbert Alzolay. Hampson came in for Cron and scored easily on Blackmon’s fifth triple of the season. “That is always the expectation with Charlie and I’ve seen it so often,” Black told reporters. “Team-wide, with the expectation of Daza, it’s been a little bit of a struggle for a number of weeks. For most of our players, it’s been a struggle, so that was big from Charlie.”
Right-hander Jose Urena, commanding all of his pitches, gave the Rockies six strong innings, yielding just one run on seven hits. He struck out four and walked two.
