DENVER (AP) \u2014 Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer in the first inning to spark the offense and the Colorado Rockies broke a four-game skid with a 7-3 win over the\u00a0Chicago Cubs\u00a0on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The All-Star catcher has five homers in June. Ezequiel Tovar also homered for Colorado, while Edouard Julien drove in three runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outfielder\u00a0Cole Carrigg\u00a0had a memorable major league debut as he hit a triple down the line in right. After sliding into third, he got up and celebrated with a little dance. Carrigg finished 1 for 3 with a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the 25th win of the season for the Rockies. Last season, when they made a run at the worst record in big league history, they didn’t win game No. 25 until July 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tomoyuki Sugano (6-4) pitched into the sixth before running out of steam. He allowed three runs while striking out three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alex Bregman went 2 for 3 with an RBI on a sacrifice fly after shouldering the blame Sunday for Chicago’s offensive woes. Michael Busch added a solo homer as the Cubs lost for the 21st time in 28 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Colin Rea (5-4) had a rough outing in giving up a season-high seven runs over 4 2\/3 innings. Entering the game, the right-hander had allowed three runs or less in 14 of his last 19 starts dating to last August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The crowd at Coors Field had a sea of vocal Cubs fans in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou absolutely notice it,\u201d manager Warren Schaeffer said. \u201cIt\u2019s loud for the other team in our own ballpark. How much is that on us? I would say all of it is on us.\u201dUp next<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cubs are scheduled to throw lefty Shota Imanaga (4-6, 4.74) on Wednesday, while the Rockies go with righty Michael Lorenzen (2-8, 8.01).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
