Goodman's 3-run homer and Rumfield's sac fly help Rockies rally for 9-8 win
over Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) --- TJ Rumfield hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth
inning and the Colorado Rockies used a five-run eighth to rally past the Los
Angeles Angels 9-8 on Monday night.
Hunter Goodman put Colorado ahead 8-6 with a three-run homer in the eighth.
Jake McCarthy homered earlier for the Rockies, who have won more games this
season (23) than they did before the All-Star break last year.
Jorge Soler's two-run triple for the Angels tied it 8-all in the bottom of the
eighth.
McCarthy doubled in the ninth to move Kyle Karros to third before Rumfield
drove him home with a sac fly to right field for a 9-8 lead. McCarthy finished
2 for 4 at the plate, including a solo homer in the third for a 2-0 lead.
Troy Johnston plated Colorado's first run with an RBI single in the first, and
Sterlin Thompson added an RBI single in the fifth to pull the Rockies to 5-3.
Karros' RBI double in the eighth sparked the five-run rally. Tyler Freeman
tacked on an RBI single and Goodman capped the outburst with his 14th homer ---
a three-run drive over the left-field wall.
Antonio Senzatela (5-0) threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win. Kyle
Freeland allowed six runs, five earned, and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings.
Kirby Yates (0-1) gave up the go-ahead run in the ninth.
Jos Soriano pitched the first 4 2/3 innings for the Angels, giving up three
runs on three hits and striking out seven. He also hit two batters with pitches
and walked seven --- a career high. He became the first Angels pitcher to issue
seven free passes in a game since Garrett Richards on Sept. 2, 2013.
Jo Adell hit an RBI single in the third before Jose Siri drilled his second
career grand slam to put the Angels up 5-2 in the third. Vaughn Grissom scored
on a throwing error by Goodman in the fifth for a 6-3 lead.
