DENVER (AP) \u2014 Mickey Moniak finished a single shy of the cycle, Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer to cap a four-run fifth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat Miami 6-3 on Wednesday night to snap an eight-game losing streak against the Marlins.<\/p>\n

Moniak homered<\/a> for a second straight game when he hit the sixth pitch from Max Meyer (9-1) for his 14th of the season to put the Rockies up 1-0 in the first.<\/p>\n

Moniak doubled in the third and then tripled to drive in the first two runs in the fifth. Goodman followed<\/a> with his 27th homer for a 5-2 lead.<\/p>\n

Goodman tied Larry Walker’s team record for most home runs before the All-Star break and has 11 more games to surpass it.<\/p>\n

All four runs off Meyer in the fifth were unearned after an error by second baseman Javier Sanoja extended the inning. Sanoja hit a two-run triple in the fourth off Kyle Freeland (2-7) to put Miami up 2-1.<\/p>\n

Joe Mack hit<\/a> his sixth home run \u2014 a pinch-hit, inside-the-park shot off Juan Mejia in the seventh to cut it to 5-3 \u2014 but Colorado got the run back in the bottom of the inning when Kyle Karros hit<\/a> his sixth homer, a 440-foot shot on the first pitch from Tyler Zuber.<\/p>\n

Freeland allowed two runs and six hits over five innings, striking out seven to help the Rockies snap a three-game skid. Mejia worked two innings, Jimmy Herget pitched a scoreless eighth and Brennan Bernardino retired the side in order in the ninth for his first save this season and the second of his career.<\/p>\n

Meyer permitted five runs \u2014 one earned \u2014 and six hits in six innings.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Marlins had not announced who will start opposite Rockies RHP Michael Lorenzen (3-9, 6.83 ERA) on Thursday to close out the four-game series.<\/p>\n
