Catcher Dalton Rushing also went yard in the second inning, launching his fifth home run of the season in as many appearances this month.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6o\">The Rockies responded in the bottom half of the second to come within one, and took the lead in the sixth inning after a Troy Johnston double brought in both the tying and eventually winning run. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6r\">Ahead of the eventual victory, a scary moment occurred regarding right-handed reliever Blake Treinen.

Although the reported move isn&#8217;t official yet and it is confirmed that it isn&#8217;t injury-related, it is a known fact that superstar Freddie Freeman will imminently miss time for the birth of his fourth child.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6x\">Finally, there is a health update on utility star Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez.
