Hunter Goodman hit his 18th homer and Cole Carrigg added a first-hit triple as Colorado won 7-3 and moved closer to a series sweep.
- On Tuesday, the Colorado Rockies defeated the Chicago Cubs 7-3 at Coors Field, with Tomoyuki Sugano earning the win supported by home runs from Hunter Goodman and Ezequiel Tovar.
- Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell watched starter Colin Rea allow five runs in the first two innings, deepening a recent offensive slump while the Rockies' bullpen shut down Chicago with four relievers allowing no runs.
