Overview

  • Pinch-hitter Hunter Goodman’s blast scored Kyle Karros and turned a 5-4 deficit into a 6-5 win at Busch Stadium.
  • It marked Goodman’s first career pinch-hit homer and capped two straight games with long shots using Farmer’s bat.
  • The 25-year-old All-Star now leads the Rockies with 24 homers and has gone deep in five of his last 10 games.
  • Goodman said the shorter lumber from catcher Kyle Farmer helped him adjust his swing during the late-season grind.
  • Colorado’s bullpen delivered three scoreless innings to preserve the comeback as the Rockies prepare to build on the sweep in their upcoming home series.
