Charlie Blackmon led off for Colorado with an opposite-field triple, and then Ezequiel Tovar singled to center to score Blackmon and snap a franchise-record drought of not scoring first in 16 consecutive games dating back to last season.In that inning, Christian Walker led off with a single, then Eugenio Suárez walked.
After Gallen’s exit, the Rockies went to work on the Dbacks’ bullpen in the sixth. They scored one via Elehuris Montero’s sacrifice fly and loaded the bases to end the right-hander’s night, bringing on southpaw Joe Mantiply. McMahon’s infield single and then an Elias Diaz walk gave Colorado a 6-4 lead.
In the ninth, right-hander Nick Mears had a chance to earn his first career save, but got into trouble instead. After walking the first two batters and giving up an RBI single, Mears issued another walk to load the bases. That’s when he got the hook, and right-hander Jake Bird came in to get the final out to earn his first career save instead.Bryant, who missed Saturday’s game due to back tightness, played right field on Monday and appeared to be running, and swinging, without any issues.
“I was studying for a high school physics test that night,” Black said. “And I do remember that — Al Downing the pitcher, the swing to left-center over the chain-link fence into the bullpen , the shot of him running around the bases with the two fans coming out of the stands to congratulate him.
