Blackmon, Gonzalez HR to power Rockies past Cardinals 6-3

ST. LOUIS -- Jon Gray is back to competing, and the Colorado Rockies are reaping the rewards.

Charlie Blackmon and Carlos Gonzalez each went deep, Gray pitched into the eighth inning and the Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-3 on Tuesday night.

Gray (9-7) has won his last four decisions, and the Rockies have won the last five games he's started. That includes three straight victories since a brief demotion to Triple-A to clear the young right-hander's head.

Gray struck out five over 7 1/3 innings, helping Colorado finish the month 17-6.
