Garcia helps Padres rally past Rockies
DENVER: Greg Garcia had four hits, including a two-run triple as part of a four-run ninth inning, and the San Diego Padres rallied to beat the Colorado Rockies 14-13 on Sunday.
The two teams combined for 92 runs in their four-game series to set a modern-era record. Rockies outfielder Charlie Blackmon homered and had three hits in the finale to set a record for most hits in a four-game series with 15.
Hunter Renfroe hit two home runs for San Diego, and Fernando Tatis Jr had three hits and was a home run short of a cycle.
Gerardo Reyes (3-0) struck out the side in the eighth inning to get the win, and Kirby Yates got the last three outs for his 24th save.
The Padres rallied in the ninth for the second time in the series after coming back from six down on Friday.
Rockies closer Wade Davis (1-2) walked two, Wil Myers cut it to 13-11 with a single and Garcia tied it with his triple.
At Los Angeles, Cody Bellinger hit a home run, and closer Kenley Jansen found a bit of redemption as the Dodgers held off the Chicago Cubs 3-2.
Jansen earned his 21st save, although just barely, one day after he gave up a two-run home run to Anthony Rizzo in the ninth inning that gave the Cubs a 2-1 victory.
Jansen put the first two runners aboard in the ninth inning but escaped unharmed.
The Dodgers took a 3-2 lead in the eighth inning when Russell Martin fought off a breaking ball from Steve Cishek (1-4) to dunk a single into left field and score Chris Taylor from second base. Ross Stripling (3-2) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the victory.
At Baltimore, Rafael Devers led off the top of the 10th with a home run while Mookie Betts and Christian Vazquez each added two-run singles in the inning as Boston rallied past Baltimore 8-6 for their firth straight win.
