DENVER (AP) — Chad Kuhl shook off a first-pitch homer by Tyler Naquin to last into the eighth inning, Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead two-run triple in the sixth and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the Reds 4-3.
Charlie Blackmon added an RBI double in Colorado’s four-run sixth inning.
Aramis Garcia also homered for the Reds, who lost their ninth in a row on the road.
After Naquin’s homer, Kuhl (3-0) retired the next 12 batters he faced before the Reds loaded the bases on three consecutive singles to start the fifth.
However, Kuhl got Garcia to ground into a double play and Jake Fraley to fly out to end the inning.
Daniel Bard got the last three outs for his sixth save.
Art Warren (0-1) took the loss.
