Rockies lose to Tulo

Heavy rain and hail caused flooding in the Colorado Rockies dugout and clubhouse tunnel before the game.

Troy Tulowitzki homered to ignite a go-ahead, six-run fourth inning and the former Rockies star helped the Blue Jays win in Denver for the first time as Toronto beat Colorado 14-9 early Wednesday morning in a game that began with a lengthy delay because of severe weather.

Rain and hail came down on Coors Field in a fierce, hour-long downpour, leading to heavy runoff into the Rockies’ dugout and clubhouse tunnel that caused some flooding.

Grounds crew workers were able to clear the water away by sandbagging the tunnel entrance and clearing debris over the drains, allowing the pooled water to dissipate.

Happ (10-3) won his fourth straight, allowing five runs in five innings.

Carlos Gonzalez had four hits, including a home run, and 5 RBIs for the Rockies, who saw their three-game winning streak snapped.

Gonzalez’s four hits represented his fourth consecutive multihit effort and boosted his total with the Rockies to 1,002.

Blue Jays: RHP Aaron Sanchez (7-1) has allowed two or fewer earned runs in four of his last five starts.
