DENVER >> Ezequiel Tovar hit a three-run homer to break a fifth-inning tie and the Colorado Rockies secured their first home series victory of the season with a 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.
Hunter Goodman had three hits, the last a two-run homer in the eighth, and Ryan McMahon homered for the second straight game, The Rockies have won two straight home games for the first time this season.
The Rockies lost their first 15 home series. At 24-74, they remain on pace to set a major league season record for losses.
Antonio Senzatela (4-13) gave up three runs in the second inning but faced only one batter over the minimum in the next five, going seven innings for the first time this season.
Senzatela, who leads the major leagues in losses, gave up five hits and struck out three with one walk. He used an economical 78 pitches.
Kody Clemens had a double and a triple for the Twins, who have lost 12 of their last 15 road games and their last five road series.
Clemens’ two-out, two-run double made it 8-5 in the eighth, but Tyler Kinley struck out Carlos Correa with runners on second and third to end the inning.
Tovar had three hits and Mickey Moniak had three hits for the Rockies.
