Goodman Homers Twice, Drives in 5 Runs in Rockies' 12-6 Victory over Royals
Goodman’s sixth multi-homer game gave Colorado 12 runs and moved him past the club’s previous catcher mark with his 33rd homer.
On Saturday in Denver, Hunter Goodman hit two home runs, setting a new Colorado Rockies single-season record for catchers with his 33rd blast in the team's 12-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Colorado sent 11 men to the plate in the third inning to grab control against Kansas City starter Luinder Avila, while Rockies starter Ryan Feltner settled down to pitch six innings after a shaky start.
Willi Castro added his 12th home run and Rumfield contributed an RBI single, while Kansas City outfielder Lane Thomas was traded to the Atlanta Braves after being pulled mid-game.
This victory marked Colorado's 44th win of the season, officially eclipsing the team's total from last year with 51 games remaining.
With the MLB trade deadline arriving Monday night, Goodman remains a focal point for potential deals, leading the Rockies with 65 RBIs.
