The Rockies had everything working for them on a rainy Tuesday night in the nation’s capital. But all of that good stuff was washed away when the Nationals rallied for a 6-5 victory against Colorado’s usually dependable bullpen.
Lefty Austin Gomber made his fifth consecutive strong start, rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar hit his 10th homer and played sparkling defense, and the Rockies pounded out 14 hits.
The start of the game was delayed by 90 minutes and the rain returned in the seventh, halting play for another 51 minutes. How good has Gomber been? He’s walked three batters over his last eight starts. Over his last five starts — all victories — the lefty has a 2.90 ERA with 19 strikeouts and just one walk.Washington scratched out a run in the second, coming after a throwing error by third baseman Ryan McMahon that allowed Joey Meneses to reach. Stone Garrett advanced Meneses to third with a single, and Riley Adam’s double to left drove in Meneses.
