ATLANTA (AP) — Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh and the Colorado Rockies overcame Grant Holmes' 15-strikeout performance to beat the Atlanta Braves 10-1 on Sunday and avoid a series sweep.
The Rockies have lost 22 of 23 series this season. They swept Miami on the road from June 2-4 for their only series win so far this season.
Colorado right-hander Austin Gomber allowed two hits and no runs in five innings in his season debut.
The Braves trailed 1-0 despite Holmes not allowing a hit or a walk through five innings.
Holmes mishandled a grounder by Ryan Ritter in the third and made a wild throw to first base for another error, allowing Ritter to advance to third base. Braxton Fulford's sacrifice fly to left field drove in Ritter.
Fulford's single up the middle with one out in the sixth was Colorado's first hit. Fulford added a three-run triple off Aaron Bummer in the eighth.
Gomber came off the injured list. He had been out since March 27 with a sore left shoulder. Jake Bird (2-1) allowed one run in the sixth.
