Minnesota Twins, Colorado Rockies
Digest more
Ezequiel Tovar hit a three-run homer to break a fifth-inning tie and the Colorado Rockies secured their first home series victory of the season with a 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
He went seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and just one walk. He allowed just two hits after the second inning, induced two crucial double plays, and threw 78 pitches. It was the fourth time a Rockies starter has gone seven innings this season and the first since Germán Márquez on May 22.
Byron Buxton flashed his Gold Glove-caliber defense with a wild catch in the Twins' matchup against the Rockies Saturday.
The Rockies talked a good game before hosting the Twins Friday night at Coors Field. Phrases like “fresh start” and “new beginning” were bandied about.
