Marlins rout Rockies with offensive explosion

Javier Sanoja, Joe Mack and Owen Caissie each hit home runs in the visiting Miami Marlins' 14-3 blowout win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night in Denver.

Sanoja unloaded on the first pitch he saw from Tanner Gordon with two outs in the third, launching it over the fence for a three-run homer to extend the Marlins' lead to 5-1.

Mack's two-run blast in the seventh and Caissie's three-run shot in the eighth were late highlights from a huge offensive game for Miami, which has won six of its last seven.

Griffin Conine, Kyle Stowers and Xavier Edwards combined for 11 hits and five RBIs in the No. 2-4 spots in the Marlins order.

Eury Perez (4-6) earned the win in his second start since returning from the injured list. Perez struck out eight in 5 1/3 innings, allowing just one run on two hits and four walks.

Gordon (0-2) was tagged with the loss, giving up five runs in five innings. He was making his first start since May 31, spending almost the entire month of June on the IL with a hip ailment.

Mickey Moniak was 1-for-4 with a home run for the Rockies, who were out-hit 21-5.

A pair of extra-base hits got Miami going in the opening frame. Stowers hit a one-out triple and came home to score on Conine's RBI double one batter later.

Moniak smacked a 424-foot homer to right-center with one down in the bottom of the inning to tie the game.

Leo Jimenez's RBI single in the second restored Miami's advantage, scoring Sanoja from second.

Conine, Stowers and Edwards each tacked on RBI singles off reliever Seth Halvorsen in the sixth.

An inning later, the Rockies ended the streak of nine unanswered Miami runs when Eduoard Julien scored on an RBI groundout by Jake McCarthy.

Colorado's TJ Rumfield extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a double in the eighth.
