Hunter Goodman’s Clutch HR Saves Rockies | Colorado Rockies News

Hunter Goodman delivered a game-winning solo homer in the 8th, lifting the Rockies to an 8-7 thriller over the Nationals and evened their series — their second win since the All-Star break. CJ Abrams gave Washington an early 2-0 lead with a two-run blast, but the Rockies answered with a 4-run second inning fueled by Moniak, Johnston, McCarthy, and Carrigg. Abrams struck again in the 3rd, and James Wood’s 2-run double in the 4th gave Washington the lead again — forcing Lorenzen’s early exit after giving up 6 runs in 3.2 innings. Goodman’s clutch homer capped a historic power surge — he’d already hit 3 homers in his last 3 games and now leads all catchers with 31 homers this season, tying his career high. The Rockies improve to 41-62, while the Nationals fall to 51-51. Series finale Wednesday: Gabriel Hughes vs. Cade Cavalli.
