DENVER, Colo. (WMDJ) — The Cincinnati Reds powered their way to a series victory Sunday, belting four home runs in a 9-6 win over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field.

Stephenson added his second home run of the afternoon with a solo blast in the fifth inning to make it 9-1.
The Rockies made things interesting late behind a historic day from Goodman, who hit three home runs and drove in five runs. He connected in the first, sixth and eighth innings before Willi Castro added a solo homer in the ninth, but Cincinnati's bullpen held on to secure the victory.
