Rockies beat Twins again to clinch home series

Ryan McMahon, Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman homered and the host Colorado Rockies rallied from a 3-0 deficit for a 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night at Denver in a game that was delayed 38 minutes by rain.

The Rockies have won the first two games to clinch their first home series win of the season as Tovar was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and three RBIs, and Goodman also drove in three runs.

It was the third consecutive loss for the Twins. Kody Clemens was 2-for-4 (double, triple) with three RBIs.

Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela (4-13) earned the win after allowing three runs and six hits in seven innings with a walk and three strikeouts.

Minnesota starter Zebby Matthews (1-2) gave up five runs and eight hits in four plus innings with a walk and six strikeouts in taking the loss.

Clemens' two-run, bases-loaded double in the eighth pulled the Twins to within 8-5.

Goodman countered in the bottom of the inning with a two-run blast. It was his 18th homer of the season.

Harrison Bader doubled in a run for the Twins in the ninth.

Tovar's two-out, three-run homer in the fifth gave Colorado a 6-3 lead. The blast, off reliever Brock Stewart, traveled an estimated 433 feet to center field and was Tovar's fourth home run.

The Rockies added two more in the sixth to make it 8-3 on Tyler Freeman's RBI double and Goodman's groundout, which brought in a run.

The Rockies tied it 3-3 in the third on McMahon's two-run homer. It was his 15th of the season.

Ryan Ritter's run-scoring double in the bottom of the second cut Colorado's deficit to 3-1. Ritter left the game in the sixth after getting hit on the finger as he executed a sacrifice bunt.

The Twins took a 3-0 lead in the second on an RBI triple by Clemens, a run-scoring double by Carlos Correa and an RBI single by Matt Wallner.
