Phillies bang out 17 hits, cruise past Rockies

Kyle Schwarber homered for the second straight night, Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh and Bryson Stott had three hits each, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 7-4 in Denver on Tuesday night.

Max Kepler, Alec Bohm and Trea Turner contributed two hits in a 17-hit barrage and Jesus Luzardo (5-0) struck out 10 in six innings of work for Philadelphia, which has won five in a row.

Tyler Freeman had three hits and Ryan McMahon had two singles off the bench for Colorado. The Rockies have lost three straight and seven of their last eight to fall to 8-40 on the season.

Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela (1-8) allowed four runs on 10 hits in six innings of work.

The Phillies scored eight runs in the final two innings of Monday’s win and continued that hot hitting in the first inning on Tuesday night.

Stott led off the game with a single and went to third on Turner’s ground-rule double down the right-field line. Harper followed with a double to left to bring home both runners to make it 2-0. Harper went to third on Schwarber’s lineout to center field and scored on Nick Castellanos’ sacrifice fly.

Colorado got one back in the fourth. Brenton Doyle drew a one-out walk, stole second as Kyle Farmer was caught looking and scored on Freeman’s single to left.

Philadelphia tacked on a run in the fifth on Kepler’s RBI double to make it 4-1, and then expanded the lead against reliever Ryan Rolison in the seventh. Schwarber hit a 430-foot, one-out solo homer to center field, his 17th of the season. Castellanos followed with a single and went to second on Rolison’s throwing error. Kepler walked and Bohm and Marsh added RBI singles to make it 7-1.

The Rockies got a run in the bottom of the inning on Adael Amador’s run-scoring single but the rally was thwarted when Amador was thrown out trying to go from first to third on McMahon’s pinch-hit single.

Colorado added two runs in the ninth. Mickey Moniak had a pinch-hit RBI single and scored on McMahon’s double.
