Trevor Story hit two home runs and had a career-high seven RBIs, German Marquez pitched seven strong innings, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 13-6 in Denver on Friday night.
Story followed up Thursday's four-hit game with three more on Friday and scored four runs. Nolan Arenado also had three hits and Raimel Tapia scored four times for Colorado, which has won six in a row.
Marquez (6-2) allowed two runs on six hits and struck out seven and had two of the Rockies' 17 hits. He now has a five-game hitting streak. He is three shy of Mike Hampton's club record for a pitcher set in 2002.
Randal Grichuk and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered for the Blue Jays, who have lost four in a row.
Toronto came to town after being swept at Tampa Bay and was out of this one by the third inning. Colorado scored four runs each in the first and third innings, the first two on Story's home run off Edwin Jackson (0-3).
Grichuk got the Blue Jays on the board with a solo home run in the second, his ninth of the season. Marquez then gave up a single to Cavan Biggio, walked Jonathan Davis and moved up both runners with a wild pitch.
Luke Maile's groundout scored Biggio to make it 4-2 but it was all Colorado after that. Arenado's ground-rule double scored two runs in the second and the Rockies blew it open in the third.
With one out, Tony Wolters, Marquez and Tapia singled to load the bases and Story followed with a three-run double. He scored on David Dahl's double to make it 10-2.
Jackson gave up 10 runs on 10 hits in 2 1/3 innings.
Arenado drove in another run with a double in the fifth inning and Story hit another two-run homer in the seventh to make it 13-2. It was his 15th of the season.
Toronto scored four times in the eighth on a solo homer by Guerrero, his sixth, two sacrifice flies and a bases-loaded walk.
