Special delivery: CarGo hits 473-foot homer as Rockies rout Reds

CINCINNATI — A vintage CarGo show rolled into Great American Ballpark on Tuesday night as the Rockies beat the Reds 9-6.

Carlos Gonzalez opened his act in the fourth inning with a laser throw from right field to nail Tucker Barnhart trying to stretch a single into a double. But CarGo was just getting warmed up.
