DENVER (AP) \u2014 Mickey Moniak finished a single shy of the cycle, Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer to cap a four-run fifth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat Miami 6-3 on Wednesday night to snap an eight-game losing streak against the Marlins.<\/p>\n
\n Moniak homered<\/a> for a second straight game when he hit the sixth pitch from Max Meyer (9-1) for his 14th of the season to put the Rockies up 1-0 in the first.<\/p>\n Moniak doubled in the third and then tripled to drive in the first two runs in the fifth. Goodman followed<\/a> with his 27th homer for a 5-2 lead.<\/p>\n Goodman tied Larry Walker’s team record for most home runs before the All-Star break and has 11 more games to surpass it.<\/p>\n All four runs off Meyer in the fifth were unearned after an error by second baseman Javier Sanoja extended the inning. Sanoja hit a two-run triple in the fourth off Kyle Freeland (2-7) to put Miami up 2-1.<\/p>\n \n Joe Mack hit<\/a> his sixth home run \u2014 a pinch-hit, inside-the-park shot off Juan Mejia in the seventh to cut it to 5-3 \u2014 but Colorado got the run back in the bottom of the inning when Kyle Karros hit<\/a> his sixth homer, a 440-foot shot on the first pitch from Tyler Zuber.<\/p>\n Freeland allowed two runs and six hits over five innings, striking out seven to help the Rockies snap a three-game skid. Mejia worked two innings, Jimmy Herget pitched a scoreless eighth and Brennan Bernardino retired the side in order in the ninth for his first save this season and the second of his career.<\/p>\n Meyer permitted five runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 and six hits in six innings.<\/p>\n The Marlins had not announced who will start opposite Rockies RHP Michael Lorenzen (3-9, 6.83 ERA) on Thursday to close out the four-game series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DENVER (AP) \u2014 Mickey Moniak finished a single shy of the cycle, Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":740870,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2405],"tags":[5,5361,167,52,4316,2092,4289,8162,18789,7168,1022,39318,1023,92070,1714,3568,4,9500,9501,9496,9497,83038,22871,168,16986],"class_list":["post-740869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-colorado-rockies","tag-baseball","tag-brennan-bernardino","tag-colorado","tag-colorado-rockies","tag-coloradorockies","tag-hunter-goodman","tag-javier-sanoja","tag-jimmy-herget","tag-joe-mack","tag-juan-mejia","tag-kyle-freeland","tag-kyle-karros","tag-larry-walker","tag-marlins-rockies-score-moniak-goodman","tag-max-meyer","tag-mickey-moniak","tag-mlb","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-product-32562-ap-online-other-sports-news","tag-product-40777-ap-colorado-sports-only","tag-product-40780-ap-florida-sports-only","tag-rockies","tag-tyler-zuber"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=740869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/740869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/740870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=740869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=740869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=740869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
