Moniak's Homers Lead Rockies Past Phillies

Mickey Moniak hit two solo home runs to lead the Colorado Rockies to a 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, preventing a series sweep at Coors Field on Sunday.

Moniak's offensive performance helped the Rockies avoid being swept in the three-game series. His first-inning homer came after Taijuan Walker retired the first two batters, putting the Rockies on the board early. T.J. Rumfield added another homer in the first inning to give Colorado a 3-0 lead.

The Phillies got one run back in the second when Adolis Garcia hit his second home run of the season. Moniak added his second homer in the fifth inning, extending the Rockies' lead. Philadelphia's offense struggled throughout the game, with their top five hitters going just 2-19 against Rockies pitching.
