Matt Holliday once again excited the crowd at Coors Field with a heroic homerun. Holliday hit a two run homerun in the bottom of the 8th inning that gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead over the Atlanta Braves and they held on for the victory to improve their record to 2-5.
Matt Herges picked up the win and Manny Corpas picked up the save. It was Herges first win on the season, and Corpas’s second save. Starting pitcher Aaron Cook pitched seven great innings and only allowed two hits and a first inning earned run. Great performance by the Rockies pitching staff!
