The Rockies drove in five runs in the first and another in the sixth to defeat the Royals, 6-4, on Saturday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium.
Colorado had six different players record a hit, including red-hot third baseman Ryan McMahon, who went 2 for 4 with two RBIs. Catcher Elias Diaz continued to build his All-Star resume, totaling two hits and a pair of RBIs while picking off Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. on a throw to third base in the third inning.
Lawrence returned to the mound in the ninth. He got two quick outs, but Royals’ catcher Salvador Perez hit a fly ball to center field, and second baseman Alan Trejo failed to make the game-ending catch as a runner came home to cut the deficit to two runs. The Rockies were aggressive early. They had runners reach first and second after Witt fumbled a ground ball. McMahon made the shortstop pay for the error, driving home Charlie Blackmon on a single to take a 1-0 advantage.
