On fireworks night at Coors Field, Ezequiel Tovar delivered a star-spangled performance.
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.
Tovar finished the night 2-for-4, extending his career-high hitting streak to 13 games, the longest by a Rockies player this season.
“Really, everything has been the same day to day. I’m just following my process,” Tovar said in the clubhouse as he and his teammates hurried to join their families and catch the fireworks show.
