GAME STORY: Led by jubilant rookie Elehuris Montero, the Rockies busted out of their drought in a big way on a perfect summer night at Coors Field. by psaundersdp
The Rockies’ entered Friday night’s game in a five-game losing skid and had failed to hit a home run in any of those losses. But Montero rocketed two over the center-field wall, Connor Joe broke out of a deep slump with a solo homer, and the Rockies beat the Giants, 7-4.
“We talked about it pregame and I said he needed to get the ball down, which he did,” manager Bud Black said. “He produced grounders, he had a fastball with some sink, a slider and a change. So that was Jose Urena, what you saw tonight, so that was good.”Montero’s first-ever homer at Coors Field was a 429-foot, two-run shot in the second inning off San Francisco left-hander Alex Wood. His second was a three-run blast off Wood in the fifth to hike Colorado’s lead to 7-0.
Montero’s second bash spelled the end for Wood, who was torched for seven hits, including Joe’s blast in the fourth and back-to-back doubles by Wynton Bernard and Jose Iglesias in the fifth.
