CHICAGO — The Rockies' post-Tulo era began with a 7-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on a steamy Tuesday night at Wrigley Field.
Playing in their first game since Troy Tulowitzki was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Rockies rode an impressive start by Yohan Flande and timely hits throughout their order to notch just their second road victory in their last nine games.
Colorado struck quickly, scoring four runs in the first off overmatched Cubs rookie Dallas Beeler.
Charlie Blackmon opened the game with a double and scored on a subsequent double by DJ LeMahieu, who extended his career-best hitting streak to 18 games.
