Rockies hang on to win over Yankees at home

Colorado escapes, 13-10
Colorado left fielder Rayn Raburn jumped to field a fly ball off the bat of New York Yankees’ Brian McCann to end the top of the seventh inning.

DENVER – Carlos Gonzalez homered among his four hits, Trevor Story also went deep and drove in three runs and the Colorado Rockies beat the New York Yankees 13-10 on Tuesday night.

Jorge De La Rosa pitched five shutout innings in his return to the rotation and Ryan Raburn also homered for Colorado.

Didi Gregorius homered for the Yankees, who have dropped three consecutive. Ike Davis, who signed with New York on Monday, had a pinch-hit, RBI single in the eighth in his debut.

De La Rosa (3-4) scattered three hits to get his first win as a starter in two months. Carlos Estevez worked the ninth for his second save.

Nathan Eovaldi (6-3) gave up six runs and eight hits while striking out just two in four-plus innings.

Colorado was cruising until the Yankees sent 12 batters to the plate in a seven-run eighth to nearly erase a nine-run deficit. Gregorius grounded out with the tying run on to end the inning after the Yankees pulled to 12-10.

Gonzalez then led off the bottom of the eighth with his 15th home run.

Story and Raburn hit back-to-back homers in the third. Nolan Arenado’s RBI double in the fifth gave Colorado a 6-0 lead and chased Eovaldi.

Gregorius hit a three-run homer in the top of the sixth but Colorado stretched the lead against New York’s ineffective bullpen. Five Yankees relievers allowed six runs and nine hits in four innings.
