Rumfield’s Blast Ends Losing Skid | Colorado Rockies News

TJ Rumfield crushed his first homer in nearly two months, a two-run blast in the seventh that broke a six-game skid and ended a brutal ten-game home losing streak — and it wasn’t even his best moment. In his last nine games, he’s hitting .346 with 14 walks and just 3 strikeouts, on pace to shatter the Rockies’ rookie walk record while leading all NL rookies in batting average and OBP. The Rockies got an early boost from September call-up Adael Amador, but it was Rumfield’s 14th homer of the year — off a rookie pitcher in a tie game — that sealed the 4-2 win. An Orioles infielder’s costly error loaded the bases, setting up Rumfield’s clutch hit. This victory is a major momentum boost, proving the Rockies can rally when their young stars deliver.
