Rockies blast six home runs, including C.J. Cron’s grand slam, to finish sweep of Marlins

Talk about blasts from the past.

Channeling Hall of Famer Larry Walker and the rest of the Blake Street Bombers, C.J. Cron and the Rockies went on a home run binge reminiscent of 1996.

The Rockies smashed six home runs on a hot Sunday afternoon at Coors Field to beat Miami, 13-8, and finish off the three-game sweep.

Cron hit two homers — a three-run blast in the first and a grand slam in the fourth — and drove in seven runs, one shy of tying the franchise record. He drove in 13 runs in the series, tying Walker for the most RBIs in a three-game series by a Rockie.
