DENVER — Tyler Freeman’s sacrifice bunt in the eighth inning drove in the go-ahead run, Cole Carrigg had three RBI and the Colorado Rockies rallied past the Boston Red Sox for an 8-6 victory Wednesday.
After pinch-hitter Mickey Moniak and Willi Castro singled off Justin Slaten (0-4), putting runners on first and third with the score 6-6, Freeman dropped down a bunt along the first-base line that scored Moniak. Carrigg capped the scoring with an RBI double.
Antonio Senzatela (8-0) struck out two in two perfect innings and Jimmy Herget picked up his second save with a hitless ninth. Rockies starter Kyle Freeland allowed six runs and 11 hits as Colorado fell behind 3-0 after two innings and 6-3 after five.
Carrigg, Jake McCarthy and Troy Johnston each hit RBI singles during the Rockies’ three-run seventh inning to make it 6-6.
Connor Wong hit his first home run since Sept. 8, 2024, for the Red Sox in the second inning. Andruw Monasterio’s homer in the fourth gave Boston a 5-2 lead. Willson Contreras and Anthony Seigler both had RBI doubles for Boston, which hasn’t won back-to-back series since April 6-12.
TJ Rumfield opened Colorado’s scoring in the third with an RBI double and Carrigg drove in his first run of the game on a forceout. Freeman’s RBI single in the fourth pulled the Rockies within two runs.
Red Sox third baseman Caleb Durbin left in the third inning after suffering a left pinkie subluxation while sliding into first base.
Boston starter Ranger Suarez allowed three runs — two earned — and seven hits with nine strikeouts and one walk in six innings.
