The Blake Street Bombers were reincarnated in our Nation’s Capital Tuesday night.
The Rockies blasted seven home runs, tying a franchise record, en route to a 10-6 victory over Washington at Nationals Park. For just the second time this season, the Rockies won three games in a row.
Tuesday marked the third time in franchise history the Rockies hit seven homers in a game, the second time on the road. The last time they did it away from the Mile-High City? April 5, 1997, in Montreal, by the ‘Bombers.
Tuesday’s tale of the tape:
• Thairo Estrada hit his first homer as a Rockie, mashing a solo shot in the second inning.
