Goodman's 3-run homer and Rumfield's sac fly help Rockies rally for 9-8 win over Angels
Hunter Goodman hit a three-run homer in the eighth, and TJ Rumfield drove in the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
On Monday night, the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 9-8 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, Calif., with TJ Rumfield driving in the winning run on a ninth-inning sacrifice fly.
Colorado erased an early deficit with a five-run eighth inning, powered by Hunter Goodman's 14th home run of the season, a three-run drive that put the Rockies ahead 8-6.
Los Angeles built an early lead behind Jose Siri's 390-foot grand slam, though the contest proved sloppy with Colorado committing four errors and Angels pitchers issuing 10 total walks.
Jorge Soler's two-run triple tied the game 8-8 in the bottom of the eighth; Antonio Senzatela threw 1 2/3 scoreless innings for the win while Kirby Yates took the loss.
The Rockies have already won more games this season than they did before last year's All-Star break; RHP Tomoyuki Sugano faces Angels RHP Grayson Rodriguez on Tuesday at 7:38 p.m.
