The Rockies stole home for the first time in nearly 13 years. But that was just a subplot to their 16-4 shellacking of the Pirates Saturday night at Coors Field.
In front of a lively crowd of 40,033, backup catcher Hunter Goodman rocked LoDo with a supercharged performance. Also, Michael Toglia provided a fireworks grand finale with a grand slam in the eighth, the first of his career.
Colorado’s 16 runs were a season-high and its most since scoring 16 vs. St. Louis on Aug. 9, 2022.
Goodman, 24, was making just his second start behind the plate as a big leaguer.
