The Twins enjoyed a stroll in the ballpark Sunday, waltzing to a 7-1 victory over the walk-happy Rockies. Colorado pitchers issued four leadoff walks — three by starter German Marquez — and Minnesota hit four home runs, denying Colorado a rare three-game sweep at Coors Field.

After grabbing an early three-run lead Saturday, the Twins’ offense went to sleep, and the Colorado Rockies roared to life. Home runs by Ryan McMahon, Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman powered the Rockies, who clinched only their third series victory of the season in 32 tries with a 10-6 win over the Twins in front of 42,131 at Coors Field.

Ezequiel Tovar hit a three-run homer to break a fifth-inning tie and the Colorado Rockies secured their first home series victory of the season with a 10-6 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday night.

Zebby Matthews makes his grand return in the second game out of the All-Star break. Unfortunately for him, a pitcher with a history of home run issues, it will be against the Rockies in Coors Field. Zebby’s pitch count will likely be limited as he made only a single rehab appearance after missing about six weeks.

Brock Stewart, who surrendered a go-ahead home run in Saturday night's loss at Colorado, has already gotten over the frustration.
