Elias Díaz has 2 hits including a tiebreaking single in a six

DENVER (AP) — Elias Díaz had two hits including a tiebreaking single in a six-run seventh inning, Ryan McMahon tied a career high with four hits, and Colorado won its first series of the season with an 8-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.

The Rockies, who had lost 11 of their first 12 series and split the other, won their third straight game for the first time this season.

Jacob Stallings had a two-run single and Charlie Blackmon had a two-run double in the seventh, when the Rockies scored all six runs with two outs. Blackmon had his 599th career extra-base hit, tying Larry Walker for second in franchise history.

“A lot of two-out RBIs, momentum-shifters,” Blackmon said. “We capitalized on their guys not executing really well and made the most of it and did a great job offensively.

“Guys feel good about themselves right now. It seems like we’ve done a little bit of everything recently. Played defense really well, pitched good, bullpen great and finally got some hitting. We’ll try to keep it going.”
