They fired up the fountains of youth Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.
The Rockies captured a wet and wild 5-4 victory over the Padres on a two-out, 472-foot walk-off homer by 25-year-old outfielder Nolan Jones off Brent Honeywell.

The Rockies also got homers from rookies Ezequiel Tovar, 21, and Coco Montes, 26, who was making his big-league debut.
“It’s really freaking fun,” Jones said.
The Rockies certainly needed an injection of fun.
