Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers deserved every second of the bear hug that awaited him in the home dugout Friday night.
His dual defensive plays – one in the seventh and another in the eighth – saved at least three runs and helped the Rockies seize Friday night’s series opener over the Diamondbacks, 9-4. The win extended the Rockies’ winning streak to four, improved their overall record to 56-66 and their home record to 42-21 on the season.
Since May 21, the Rockies are 29-9 at Coors for the best home record in baseball over that span.
