The Colorado Rockies did something they haven’t done very often in their first game out of the All-Star break: win. But they must do this at the trade deadline.

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 victory over the Twins in front of 42,131 at Coors Field.

Colorado on Sunday selected 18-year-old Ethan Holliday — son of former Rockies star outfielder Matt Holliday — with the No. 4 overall pick in the MLB draft.

Stillwater star infielder Ethan Holliday was taken fourth overall by the Colorado Rockies in the MLB Draft on Sunday night.

Matt was a seven-time All-Star outfielder who played 15 seasons for the Rockies, Oakland Athletics, St. Louis Cardinals and New York Yankees. Jackson Holliday reached the majors with Baltimore last season at the age of 20, appearing in 60 games and hitting .189. He is hitting .259 with 12 home runs and 14 doubles in 87 games so far this season.

The Colorado Rockies are one of four teams who have won more games on the road than they have at home joining the Washington Nations, the Cleveland Guardians, and the Athletics.
