The Rockies' Austin Gomber worked his way out of one messy inning — Detroit’s two-run fourth, in which he gave up consecutive singles to Javier Baez, Jake Rogers and Miguel Cabrera, and also uncorked a wild pitch.
The Rockies’ rookie shortstop hit a three-run home run in the sixth inning and also singled in Colorado’s five-run second in an 8-5 win over the Detroit Tigers in front of a sellout crowd of 47,239.
Colorado also got a huge boost from starter Austin Gomber, who became the first Rockies starter to pitch seven innings during a home game this season. Gomber gave up three runs on six hits and struck out seven. Best of all, he walked only one, reversing a trend of free passes that has plagued Colorado much of the season.
His homer was a 382-foot no-doubter to left off of lefty Jason Shreve’s first-pitch splitter. It was Tovar’s eighth homer of the season. Gomber retired 10 consecutive hitters from the fourth through the seventh inning and needed just 89 pitches over his seven innings.
