Ryan McMahon’s offensive surge continued on Friday night.
The third baseman belted his fifth home run in eight games, including a go-ahead RBI single to help the Rockies snap a four-game losing streak by beating the Kansas City Royals, 7-2, on the road at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
With the game tied at two in the eighth after left fielder Jurickson Profar’s fielder’s choice, McMahon stepped into the batter’s box with runners at the corners and one out. He knocked the ball to left field, driving home shortstop Ezequiel Tovar to take a 3-2 advantage.
