The struggling Colorado offense explodes to avoid sweep with 12-4 victory Sunday.
Craig Meyer Associated Press DENVER — C.J. Cron had three hits, including a three-run homer, Austin Gomber gave up one run over six innings and the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 12-4 on Sunday to snap a seven-game home losing streak.
Cron’s team-leading sixth home run of the season was the catalyst for a four-run third inning that gave Colorado the lead and broke the game open. Led by three-consecutive doubles to open up the inning, the Rockies tacked on another four runs in the sixth to stretch their lead to 10-1 and effectively seal the victory.
Charlie Blackmon, Harold Castro and Mike Moustakas each drove in two runs for the Rockies. Blackmon’s run on Cron’s third-inning homer moved him past Larry Walker for sole possession of second place on the franchise’s all-time list. “When you’re kind of getting blown out of the water, it’s not a good feeling and it’s tough to kind of show up with that same sort of confidence that we need to have,” Cron said. “I think a day like today can be huge, huge for the offense especially. Hopefully, we can just keep it going.”
