Adames homers in ninth, Brewers beat Rockies 6-5

DENVER (AP) — Willy Adames had four hits, including a go-ahead two-run home run in the top of the ninth inning, and Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-5 on Saturday night.

Adames also had three doubles and finished with three RBIs for the Brewers, who snapped a five-game skid as well as a seven-game losing streak to the Rockies.

Raimel Tapia, Yonathan Daza, Trevor Story and Ryan McMahon each had two hits and Charlie Blackmon drove in two with groundouts for the Rockies, who saw their season-high five-game winning streak snapped. Tapia extended his hitting streak to 16 games, the longest active streak in the majors.

The Rockies turned to five relievers after losing starter Austin Gomber to injury early in the game.

Tyler Kinley (1-1) allowed a one-out single to Luis Urías before Adames drove a 1-2 offering over the right-center field fence into the Rockies bullpen for his ninth home run of the season.

Josh Hader pitched a scoreless ninth, striking out the final two batters he faced for his 18th save in 18 opportunities. Trevor Richards (2-0) worked a scoreless inning in relief for the victory.

Gomber allowed two runs on four hits and had one strikeout before leaving due to left forearm tightness after pitching two innings. Both of the runs scored in the first inning, bringing an end to his streak of 23 1/3 innings without allowing an earned run at Coors Field.

Trailing 5-3 going into the top of the seventh, the Brewers pulled within a run on Avisaíl García’s RBI single off Yency Almonte.

The score was tied at 3 when the Rockies added a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth off Milwaukee starter Adrian Houser on Blackmon’s RBI groundout and McMahon’s second hit of the night, a run-scoring single.
