DENVER (AP) --- Kyle Karros hit a three-run homer to left field in the eighth
inning to give the Colorado Rockies the lead in a 7-6 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Sunday.
The 471-foot shot off Dylan Smith's fastball was Karros' seventh home run of
the season and the longest of his career.
With Karros' homer, the Rockies have 122 runs in the eighth inning or later
this season, the highest mark in the majors.
TJ Rumfield had three hits, including his 20th double of the season, and scored
twice for Colorado. He has 94 hits, the most by a Colorado rookie before the
All-Star Break in franchise history.
Hunter Goodman and Troy Johnston added an RBI apiece for Colorado, which won
its ninth series of the season, surpassing its total from the entire 2025
season.
Victor Vodnik (3-3) picked up the win after throwing a shutout eighth inning
while Smith (0-1) took the loss. Jordan Romano got his fifth save, striking out
Willy Adames swinging with two outs and a runner on second.
Rafael Devers hit his team-leading 17th and 18th home runs for San Francisco.
Casey Schmitt and Drew Gilbert also homered for the Giants.

Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (2-7, 7.25) was scheduled in Los Angeles on Monday
night against Dodgers LHP Eric Lauer (3-0, 2.88). Giants RHP Landen Roupp (5-8,
4.55) was set to oppose Toronto RHP Kevin Gausman (4-7, 4.19) in San Francisco
