Connor Norby's grand slam and 3 2-run homers help Rockies to a 13-1 win over the Nationals

WASHINGTON (AP) — Connor Norby hit a grand slam, Troy Johnston, Cole Carrigg and Hunter Goodman had two-run homers, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Washington Nationals 13-1 on Wednesday night.

Goodman and TJ Rumfield singled and Willi Castro walked to load the bases in the seventh inning before Norby launched his sixth home run of the season 402 feet to center field to give Colorado an 8-1 lead.

Norby, promoted from Triple-A Albuquerque on Aug. 11, has reached base in all 14 games for the Rockies. On Wednesday, he had two hits and five RBIs and extended his hitting streak to 11 games.

Johnston opened the scoring for Colorado with a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fifth, and Carrigg extended the lead to 4-1 with a 395-foot shot.

Goodman added his team-leading 36th homer of the year in the eighth. Norby and Ezequiel Tovar added RBI singles to cap the scoring.

Tanner Gordon (1-4) worked seven innings of one-run ball for Colorado, striking out five and giving up six hits. Zach Agnos worked the final two innings, allowing one hit.

Andrés Chaparro accounted for the Nationals' run with a solo homer in the second inning.

Will Dion (1-1) allowed four runs on four hits in 2 2/3 innings for Washington.

Rockies' RHP Gabriel Hughes (0-5, 6.54 ERA) starts opposite Nationals' RHP Jake Irvin (2-8, 5.82) in the series finale on Thursday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eugenio Suarez hit a grand slam as part of Cincinnati’s seven-run ninth inning as the Reds overcame a six-run deficit and beat the San Francisco Giants 10-9 on Wednesday.

The Reds have a record of 3-1,917 when trailing by six or more runs in the ninth inning. Besides Wednesday's comeback, Cincinnati rallied from six-or-more runs down in May 1958 against the Chicago Cubs and May 1918 against St. Louis, according to the Elias Sport Bureau.

The six-run lead was the largest ever squandered in the ninth inning by the Giants since at least 1901, according to Sportradar. The Giants twice had blown five-run leads in the ninth, against the Athletics on Aug. 14, 2020, and versus the Brooklyn Dodgers on June 25, 1929.

Cincinnati's comeback prevented the Giants from completing their first three-game sweep of the season. San Francisco is the only MLB team that has not swept a three-game set this season.

Facing a 9-3 deficit at the start of the ninth, rookie Hector Rodriguez opened the inning by hitting his second homer of the game. After a single by Elly De La Cruz and two walks, Dylan Smith replaced reliever Spencer Bivens.

Suarez hit the slam off Smith (0-5). Suarez’s 19th home run of the season cut the Giants’ lead to 9-8. Dane Myers and Matt McLain reached on bunt singles before Jose Trevino’s sacrifice fly plated the tying run. Pinch-hitter Tyler Stephenson put the Reds in front with a single that scored McLain.

The Giants got three two-run homers in the game. Jonah Cox went deep in the second inning, Rafael Devers hit his 29th in the fifth, and Shay Whitcomb hit his third in the sixth. Devers homered all three games of the series.

Pinch-hitter Drew Gilbert hit a three-run double to right-center with two outs in the eighth to extend San Francisco's lead to 9-3.

Cincinnati’s Sal Stewart hit a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning. He leads the majors with 100 RBIs and tied Jim Greengrass (1953) for the Reds’ franchise record for RBIs by a rookie.

Reds RHP Rhett Lowder (5-8, 5.13 ERA) will face Cubs LHP David Peterson (7-7, 5.17) at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon.

Giants RHP Landen Roupp (7-13, 4.34) will face visiting Arizona on Thursday night. The Diamondbacks have not named a starter.
