DENVER — — Charlie Blackmon had three RBI and three runs in one of the final games of his professional career, Michael Toglia had three hits and two RBI, and the Colorado Rockies avoided a sweep with a come-from-behind 10-8 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday.
A two-run, game-tying double from Ezequiel Tovar was the catalyst of a five-run eighth inning for the Rockies, Ryan McMahon’s double to right field in the next at-bat brought home Tovar for what would be the game-winning run.
Ryan Fernandez (1-6) took the loss for St. Louis after giving up four of Colorado’s five eighth inning runs.
RHP Miles Mikolas (9-11, 5.35 ERA) will take the mound at San Francisco Friday at 9:15.
