McMahon drove him in, and Wade Davis got the final three outs for his eighth save.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Steve Cishek (1-3) gave up two hits in the ninth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The teams used the long ball to put up four runs each in the third inning. Bote and Schwarber went back-to-back on consecutive pitches to score the first two, and Rizzo hit a two-run homer to center to give Chicago a 4-0 lead. Rizzo finished with three hits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Blackmon and Arenado each had a two-run homer off Yu Darvish in the bottom of the inning to tie it. Desmond gave the Rockies a 5-4 lead with his mammoth pinch-hit homer in the seventh, but the Cubs tied it in the eighth on Javier Baez\u2019s groundout off Scott Oberg (4-0).<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Darvish and Rockies starter German Marquez each allowed four runs in six innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Cubs: 3B Kris Bryant rolled his ankle against St. Louis on Sunday but was in the lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Rockies: Colorado placed RHP Seunghwan Oh on the 10-day injured with a left abdominal strain, retroactive to Friday, and purchased the contract of LHP Phillip Diehl from Triple-A Albuquerque.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">CARGO RETURNS<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Chicago outfielder Carlos Gonzalez made his first appearance at Coors Field in a different uniform. Gonzalez played 10 seasons with the Rockies, becoming a free agent after last season. He signed with the Cubs on June 1 after hitting .210 in 30 games with Cleveland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">His return to Colorado was bittersweet for the three-time All-Star and 2010 NL batting champ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cObviously, this is home for me,\u201d he said before the game. \u201cI got a lot of memories of this place. It is what it is. I\u2019m now on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Gonzalez, who was 0 for 3 with a walk Monday, made his Cubs debut against the Rockies in Chicago last week, two days after signing with the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI was home waiting for a job and the next thing I know I\u2019m playing couple of games in Triple-A and hours later playing against my ex-teammates,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was great seeing them competing against each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Colorado rookie right-hander Peter Lambert (1-0, 1.29 ERA) makes his Coors Field debut on Tuesday night, five days after winning his first major league start when he beat the Cubs. Chicago left-hander Jose Quintana (4-5, 3.77) took the loss in that game and is on the mound for his fourth career start at Colorado.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/rockies-rally-past-cubs-9th-straight-win-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colorado Rockies pinch-hitter Ian Desmond follows the flight of his solo home run off Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Mike Montgomery in the seventh inning of a baseball game Monday, June 10, 2019, in Denver.
