PHOENIX – Trevor Story tied a rookie record with his 10th homer of April, a two-run shot, and the Colorado Rockies hit four home runs in a 9-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night.
Story, the Rockies’ shortstop, tied Jose Abreu of the White Sox, who hit 10 in April 2014. Story and teammate Nolan Arenado, who also homered, are tied for the major league lead in home runs.
With his 10th home run in his 21st games, Story tied George Scott in 1966 as the fastest player in MLB history to 10 homers. He took Diamondbacks starter Robbie Ray (1-1) deep in the fifth inning.
Winner Tyler Chatwood (3-2) held the Diamondbacks scoreless on five hits for 6 1/3 innings with four strikeouts and three walks.
