Brewers 4, Rockies 5
Troy Tulowitzki belted a go-ahead three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Colorado Rockies continued their dominance over the Milwaukee Brewers with a 5-4 win Friday night.
Tulowitzki was held hitless over his first three at-bats Friday before ripping a Kameron Loe offering over the wall in left field for his 11th home run of the season. The Colorado shortstop is batting .459 (17 for 37) over his past nine games, raising his average for the season to .321.
Taylor Buchholz (1-0) earned the victory with an inning of scoreless relief as Colorado beat the Brewers for the 12th time in their last 14 meetings at Coors Field. Huston Street worked a perfect ninth frame for his eighth save.
Loe (2-3) absorbed the loss. Tulowitzki was the only hitter he faced.
Casey McGehee, Alcides Escobar and Jonathan Lucroy drove in runs for the Brewers, while Rickie Weeks had two of Milwaukee's six doubles.
Colorado starter Jorge De La Rosa surrendered three runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out five. Brewers counterpart Yovani Gallardo was tagged for four runs on seven hits over his seven-inning stint, with three walks and five strikeouts.
