Rockies catcher Elias Diaz hit a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth to beat the Los Angeles Angels, 7-4, at Coors Field on Friday evening.
With the Rockies down by two runs, Diaz flipped his bat as he stared at his team’s bench after crushing the ball into center field for the team’s first grand slam since 2021, snapping a dreadful eight-game losing streak.
Diaz and first baseman Elehuris Montero combined for six of Colorado’s 15 hits. Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar recorded a pair of hits, including an RBI single in the sixth inning.
Angels star Shohei Ohtani didn’t disappoint.
