CINCINNATI (AP) — Hunter Goodman homered twice, Brett Sullivan hit a three-run double, and Tomoyuki Sugano pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings as the Colorado Rockies beat the Cincinnati Reds 13-2 on Wednesday night. Goodman and Sullivan both went 3 for 4 and drove in three. Brenton Doyle, TJ Rumfield and Willi Castro had two hits apiece as the Rockies had 15 hits in all, the fourth time they have had 15-plus hits in a game this season.
Sugano (3-1) gave up four hits, walked three and struck out a pair. Cincinnati starter Brandon Williamson (2-3) allowed four runs on four hits, walked four and had four strikeouts in three innings. He missed all of last season following Tommy John surgery.
Goodman and Castro drew back-to-back two-out walks to load the bases before Sullivan hit a bases-clearing double to right in the first inning. Doyle walked to lead off the third and scored when Castro doubled to give the Rockies a 4-0 lead. Goodman hit a solo shot in fifth and a 415-foot two-run homer in the seventh and now has nine homers this season.
Kyle Karros' sacrifice fly drove in Castro and made it 8-0 going into the eighth. Goodman, Sullivan and Karros each singled to load the bases with one out in the ninth. Ezequiel Tovar hit a two-run single and Mickey Moniak followed with a ground-rule double that drove in Karros.
Moniak scored when Jordan Beck grounded out, Doyle's single drove in Tovar to make it 13-2. Tyler Stephenson hit a leadoff double and Will Benson followed with his first homer this season in the ninth for Cincinnati’s only runs. Matt McLain had two hits for the Reds.
