The Colorado Rockies opened their seven game road trip with a bang. Carlos Gonzalez’s two-run home run in the eighth inning broke a 7-7 tie and led to a 10-7 Rockies win over the Cincinnati Reds. Gonzalez’s decisive blow was one of seven homers in the game, four of which were hit by the Rockies. Seth Smith hit two dingers for his second multi-homer game of the season, and Todd Helton added a two-run homer as well. The Rockies trailed 3-0 after the first inning but took a 5-3 lead after Smith’s second homer of the night in the third inning. Helton’s homer gave the Rockies a 7-6 edge, but Brandon Phillips tied the game for the Reds with a pinch-hit homer in the seventh before Gonzalez’s heroics. The Rockies and Reds play game two of their four-game set tonight. ESPN Radio 1410 has the action with pregame coverage at 5:30 and first pitch at 6:10.
