Rangers right-hander Jon Gray and Rockies lefty Austin Gomber engaged in a sensational pitching dual Friday night at Coors Field. But 37-year-old Charlie Blackmon stole the show.

Colorado Rockies’ Charlie Blackmon follows the flight of his double to drive in two runs off Texas Rangers relief Yerry Rodríguez in the eighth inning of a baseball game Friday, May 10, 2024, in Denver.

Although Gomber had thrown only 82 pitches and needed only one out to escape, manager Bud Black gave him the hook and brought in right-hander Justin Lawrence to face the right-handed hitting Marcus Semien. Black’s move backfired because Lawrence walked Semien to load the bases and then walked Seager to force in a run and give the Rangers a 2-1 lead.

Texas wasted no time tying the game. Corey Seager led off the sixth with a 403-foot line-drive homer to right center. He ambushed Gomber’s first-pitch curveball, scorching it at 108.2 mph. Seager’s homer ended Gomber’s 14-inning scoreless streak, dating back to the fifth inning of his April 28 game vs. Houston in Mexico City. The 14-inning streak was the longest by a Rockies pitcher since 2021.
