Connor Norby's grand slam and 3 2-run homers help Rockies to a 13-1 win over
the Nationals
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Connor Norby hit a grand slam, Troy Johnston, Cole Carrigg
and Hunter Goodman had two-run homers, and the Colorado Rockies beat the
Washington Nationals 13-1 on Wednesday night.
Goodman and TJ Rumfield singled and Willi Castro walked to load the bases in
the seventh inning before Norby launched his sixth home run of the season 402
feet to center field to give Colorado an 8-1 lead.
Norby, promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 11, has reached base in all
14 games for the Rockies. On Wednesday, he had two hits and five RBIs and
extended his hitting streak to 11 games.
Johnston opened the scoring for Colorado with a go-ahead, two-run homer in the
fifth, and Carrigg extended the lead to 4-1 with a 395-foot shot.
Goodman added his team-leading 36th homer of the year in the eighth. Norby and
Ezequiel Tovar added RBI singles to cap the scoring.
Tanner Gordon (1-4) worked seven innings of one-run ball for Colorado, striking
out five and giving up six hits. Zach Agnos worked the final two innings,
allowing one hit.
Andrs Chaparro accounted for the Nationals' run with a solo homer in the
second inning.
Will Dion (1-1) allowed four runs on four hits in 2 2/3 innings for Washington.
