MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Hunter Goodman hit three homers and drove in five runs, powering the Colorado Rockies to an 8-5 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
Goodman, who also went deep in his final at-bat Friday, launched a solo shot in the first inning and another in the third off starter Mike Paredes. After grounding out in the fifth, the slugger made it 6-2 in the seventh when he connected for his 25th homer this season, a three-run drive to left-center against reliever Kody Funderburk.
Kyle Karros added a two-run homer in the eighth.
Michael Lorenzen (3-9) allowed two runs and seven hits in 5 2/3 innings to earn his first win since April 24.
Trevor Larnach’s three-run double in the ninth made it 8-5 before Jimmy Herget came on to get two outs for his third save.
Paredes (0-1) gave up three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings.
