Rockies Homer Barrage

Amador and Sullivan Each Crush Three-Run Shots

Dominican infielder Adael Amador launched a three-run homer to help Colorado build a big lead early, Express-News reported. Brett Sullivan then added his own three-run blast, giving the Rockies six runs on just two swings. Those two home runs were the key blows in a 13-run offensive outburst.

The Rockies scored 13 total runs in the game. That kind of offensive output is rare for Colorado, a team that has struggled to score runs consistently this season. Sunday's performance showed what the lineup can do when hitters get hot at the same time.

Giants' Pitching Staff Gets Hammered Early

San Francisco gave up 13 runs, a sign that its pitching staff had a rough afternoon. The Giants managed to score 7 runs themselves, but their pitchers could not stop Colorado's bats, according to WFMZ. A seven-run game is usually enough to win — just not on Sunday.

Amador Emerging as Key Piece for Colorado's Rebuild

Adael Amador is one of Colorado's most closely watched young players. The 22-year-old from the Dominican Republic has drawn attention as a potential building block for the Rockies' future. A three-run home run in a road win is exactly the kind of moment the team hopes he can deliver more often, Houston Chronicle noted.

Brett Sullivan, a catcher, added punch from a position that does not always produce big power numbers. His three-run shot made the Rockies' lead comfortable and gave the bullpen some breathing room to close out the game.

Colorado Takes a Much-Needed Road Win

Winning on the road in San Francisco is never easy. Oracle Park is known as a tough place to hit because of its large outfield and cool air off the bay. Colorado's 13 runs made those conditions irrelevant on Sunday. The Rockies walked away with a convincing series result, according to Beaumont Enterprise.
