WASHINGTON (AP) --- Hunter Goodman homered in his return from a shoulder
injury, Mason Adams worked into the fifth inning in his big league debut, and
the Colorado Rockies snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over
the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.
Daylen Lile went deep off Adams in the fourth, but that was all the scoring for
Washington against six Colorado pitchers. Mark Manfredi (1-0) won in relief for
his first career victory, and Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 13th save
in 16 chances.
Andrew Alvarez (2-6) allowed three runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings with two
walks and six strikeouts.
Playing for the first time in nearly two weeks, Goodman opened the scoring with
a solo shot in the fourth, his 35th homer of the year. Connor Norby added an
RBI double later that inning.
Lile's homer made it 2-1, but the Rockies restored a two-run lead when Jordan
Beck scored all the way from second on a wild pitch. Alvarez covered the plate
and received a throw from catcher Harry Ford before Beck came sliding in, but
umpires ruled third baseman Brady House impeded Beck after he came around
third, and the run was awarded.
The Rockies acquired Adams earlier this month in the trade that sent outfielder
Brenton Doyle to the Chicago White Sox. Adams allowed a run and three hits in
four-plus innings, walking three and striking out five. He was lifted after a
leadoff double by Jacob Young in the fifth.
Up next
Tanner Gordon (0-4) starts for Colorado on Wednesday night. The Nationals had
not announced a starter.
