On Friday, the Colorado Rockies had to wait until the eighth inning for a six-run outburst to beat the Kansas City Royals. Saturday was a different story.
The Rockies drove in five runs in the first and another in the sixth to defeat the Royals, 6-4, on Saturday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
Colorado had six different players record a hit, including red-hot third baseman Ryan McMahon, who went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Catcher Elias Diaz continued to build his All-Star resume, totaling two hits and a pair of RBIs while picking off Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr.
