CHICAGO (AP) Rockies closer Greg Holland walked the bases loaded in the ninth inning before escaping, and Colorado held off the Chicago Cubs 5-3 Friday for their season-high sixth win in a row.
After three straight one-out walks, Holland retired Ben Zobrist on a short flyball and struck out a swinging Jason Heyward for his major league-best 23rd save. The Rockies posted their NL-leading 40th win this season and have their longest winning streak since 2014.
Charlie Blackmon and Ryan Hanigan hit two-run homer and Nolan Arenado added an RBI single for the Rockies.
Heyward drove in two runs for the Cubs, who had just three singles and lost their third straight.
