The Ryan McMahon redemption tour is gathering steam.
A season defined by inconsistency at the plate and struggles in the field has taken a turn since the start of August, with Saturday night the latest chapter for the team’s starting third baseman.
One night after blowing a three-run lead, the Rockies evened their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks after McMahon delivered a clutch ninth-inning home run for a 3-2 victory at Chase Field.
Down 1-2 in the count to D-backs reliever Ian Kennedy, McMahon drove a chest-high 94 mph fastball 421 feet into the seats in left-center field for his 10th homer of the season.
