C.J. Cron reached for the stars Sunday afternoon in the Rockies’ 6-5, come-from-behind win over Arizona at Coors Field.
The slugging first baseman might make the National League All-Star team. He might not. Either way, he’s putting on a heck of a show this season.
Cron launched pair of three-run home runs, including the go-ahead dinger in the eighth off reliever Noe Ramirez, who replaced Ian Kennedy after he departed with an apparent knee injury. Colorado’s winning rally began with one-out singles by Yonathan Daza and Charlie Blackmon.
Closer Daniel Bard closed out the game to notch his 16th save in 18 opportunities — but not without a huge dose of drama in the ninth.
