Blackman's HR, Tapia's catch lift Rockies over D-backs 7-6

DENVER (AP) —

Charlie Blackmon hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Madison Bumgarner in a four-run sixth inning, left fielder Raimel Tapia made a dazzling catch to thwart a rally attempt and the Colorado Rockies beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 on Saturday.

Bumgarner (4-4), limited to four innings on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers because of soreness in his midsection, allowed seven runs — five earned — and eight hits in six innings as his ERA rose to 4.53. He is 2-2 in five starts since his seven-inning no-hitter against Atlanta on April 25.

The Rockies won their second straight game after a five-game skid. Arizona has lost 12 straight road games.

Colorado led 3-0 in the sixth before Arizona tied the score on Josh Reddick's RBI double that chased Antonio Senzatela, first baseman C.J. Cron's run-scoring fielding error on Stephen Vogt's grounder and Josh Vanmeter’s sacrifice fly against Tyler Kinley (1-0).

Trevor Story doubled on Bumgarner's first pitch of the bottom half. Blackmon drove the next pitch for his third homer this season, his first since May 4. Blackmon's sixth homer off Bumgarner put the Rockies ahead 5-3 .

After consecutive doubles by Cron and Josh Fuentes, Brendan Rodgers was hit by a pitch and Garrett Hampson grounded into a run-scoring forceout. Bumgarner then threw a run-scoring wild pitch on a high offering to Elias Díaz that bounced off Vogt's mitt and made it 7-3.

Eduardo Escobar hit a three-run homer against Yency Almonte in the seventh, Escobar's fifth home run in eight games.

Vogt's double and a pair of walks by Mychal Givens loaded the bases, Andrew Young pinch hit for Bumgarner, Carlos Estévez relieved and Young hit a bloop to shallow left that Tapia sprinted in for and caught with a dive.
