DENVER (AP) — Brenton Doyle hit a three-run triple in a four-run fifth inning, Charlie Blackmon had three hits and three RBIs on his bobblehead night, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 on Saturday.
Doyle’s two-out triple gave the Rockies a 7-5 lead and Blackmon followed with an RBI single as the Rockies broke a four-game losing streak and won for just the second time in their last 12 games.
Toronto, which led 5-0 in the second inning, rallied in the ninth. George Springer walked to open the inning and Davis Schneider tripled off Justin Lawrence as the Jays closed to 8-6. Lawrence got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on a short fly out and struck out Merrifield before Schneider scored on a wild pitch.
“The thing about Tyler, I knew his heartbeat would be in the right place,” Colorado manager Bud Black said. “He threw some really good sliders.” Colorado chipped away with four unearned runs off Blue Jays’ starter Yusei Kikuchi , two in the second inning and two in the fourth following a pair of errors by shortstop Ernie Clement. Clement is filling in for starter Bo Bichette, who is on the injured list.
Kikuchi walked Brendan Rodgers and Bouchard with two outs in the fifth and was replaced by Yimi Garcia, who walked Elehuris Montero to load the bases. Doyle tripled high off the out-of-town scoreboard in right field to give the Rockies their first lead.Colorado distributed Blackmon bobbleheads Saturday, and it may not be the last time. Blackmon is in the final year of a six-year, $108 million contract, but he said, “I’m not ready to retire right this second. I’m open to 2024 and beyond.
