WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Rockies hit a franchise record-tying seven home runs, including two from Michael Toglia, and Antonio Senzatela won his second game of the season, as Colorado held off the Washington Nationals 10-6 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Colorado hit seven homers in a game for the third time in franchise history, matching April 1997 at Montreal and against Cincinnati in May 2016. The Rockies have won three in a row for the second time this season.<\/p>\n
It was the second multihomer game of Toglia’s career. He hit three homers on July 14 last season against the Mets.<\/p>\n
Four of the homers came in the six-run seventh, highlighted by a three-run shot from Hunter Goodman and a solo shot by Ryan McMahon off Nationals reliever Cole Henry.<\/p>\n
The Rockies last hit four or more homers in one inning on June 20, 2021 against Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
Thairo Estrada, Sam Hilliard and Mickey Moniak also homered for the Rockies.<\/p>\n
Senzatela (2-10) allowed one unearned run on three hits and three walks in five innings. The right-hander also defeated the Nationals on April 20.<\/p>\n
Washington’s Michael Soroka (3-5) pitched six innings, striking out a season-high nine batters, but allowed five hits and three runs.<\/p>\n
Takeaways<\/p>\n
Nathaniel Lowe and Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. hit homers for the Nationals, who have lost 10 in a row for the third time since the franchise moved to the nation’s capital in 2005.<\/p>\n
Key Moment<\/p>\n
Washington third baseman Brady House connected on the first two hits of his major league career, including an RBI single in a four-run ninth.<\/p>\n
Key Stat<\/p>\n
The Rockies’ 10 homers in their last two games are the most in any two-game span in franchise history and the most in any two-game span on the road.<\/p>\n
