The usual suspects and one promising newcomer led the Rockies to a white-knuckle, 6-5, victory over the Braves Friday night at Coors Field.
Colorado Rockies’ Brenton Doyle, center, hugs Ezequiel Tovar, left, as Charlie Blackmon, right, looks on as Doyle returns to the dugout after hitting a two-run home run off Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Grant Holmes in the third inning of a baseball game Friday, Aug. 9, 2024, in Denver.
Atlanta got the tying run to third in the ninth against closer Victor Vodnik but he struck out Austin Riley to clinch the game and notch his seventh save. Atlanta had cut Colorado’s lead to 5-2 on a double by Jarred Kelenic and an RBI single by Whit Merrifield. When Jorge Soler dumped a broken-bat single into shallow left-center, the Braves had runners at the corners and just one out. Gordon got Riley to pop out to second baseman Brendan Rodgers in shallow right field, and then Gordon struck out the dangerous Ozuna on a nasty slider.
