DENVER (AP) \u2014 Mickey Moniak homered twice and the Colorado Rockies defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Sunday to salvage the finale of a three-game series.<\/p>\n
Tomoyuki Sugano (1-0) struck out five and gave up one run in six innings for the Rockies.<\/p>\n
T.J. Rumfield also homered for Colorado, hitting a two-run shot in a three-run first inning. Rumfield is hitting .345 with two home runs and five RBIs in his first nine games.<\/p>\n
Victor Vodnik struck out Rafael March\u00e1n with runners on first and second in the ninth inning to earn his first save of the season.<\/p>\n
