DENVER \u2014 Trevor Story hit a pair of two-run homers as part of a career-high seven-RBI night and the Colorado Rockies beat the slumping Toronto Blue Jays 13-6 on Friday for their sixth straight win.<\/p>\n

It was his 13th career multi-homer game. Story also had a three-run double, walked and scored four times. Nolan Arenado added three hits, including two doubles, and three RBIs. Arenado batted .425 in May.<\/p>\n

Rockies starter German Marquez (6-2) proved just as difficult at the plate as on the mound. He lined two singles in extending his hitting streak to five games, which is the longest by a Rockies pitcher since Mike Hampton hit safely in eight straight in 2002.<\/p>\n

On the mound, Marquez allowed two runs and struck out seven over seven efficient innings.<\/p>\n

For a change, Colorado didn\u2019t have to fret down the stretch after jumping out to an early 10-2 lead. The Rockies have four walk-off wins in going 7-1 so far on this season-high, 10-game homestand.<\/p>\n

Edwin Jackson (0-3) absorbed a majority of the damage. The veteran right-hander tied a career high by allowing 10 earned runs in lasting just 2 1\/3 innings. Jackson remains winless in four starts with his 14th different team after being acquired in a trade with Oakland on May 11.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a solo homer in the eighth during a four-run inning. Randal Grichuk had a solo shot in the second for the Blue Jays, who\u2019ve dropped eight of their last nine games.<\/p>\n

TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n

Rockies: OF Charlie Blackmon (right calf strain) is returning to some baseball activities, including the batting cage. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get to the point where he feels comfortable ramping up the intensity of running,\u201d manager Bud Black said. \u2026 RHP Wade Davis (strained oblique) threw a side session Friday.<\/p>\n

FAMILIAR AREA<\/p>\n

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo spent two seasons with the Denver Zephyrs during his minor league playing days, hitting 12 homers in 1991. The team moved to New Orleans after the \u201892 season as the Rockies arrived in town.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember that as a hitter when I played for the Zephyrs, I hit home runs here,\u201d Montoyo cracked.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/p>\n

Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman (3-6, 2.74 ERA) gets his first taste of Coors Field on Saturday. The Rockies will throw righty Jon Gray (4-4, 4.52).<\/p>\n
