Austin Gomber pitched another terrific game Tuesday night, steering the Rockies to a victory over the Angels.
But the left-hander took a backseat to an offense that exploded for 16 hits in a 12-3 rout at Anaheim. It was Colorado’s second-best road outburst of the season, topped only by their 14-6 win at Arizona on May 1.
Colorado’s hit parade was led by Sam Hilliard’s 3-for-3 performance that included a three-run homer in Colorado’s four-run fourth. Hilliard’s homer was his second in five days, coming after his go-ahead, pinch-hit home run in the ninth inning at Dodger Stadium last Friday.
