Rockies rookie Tyler Anderson picked up his first career hit, homer and win on a fun Saturday night

Pitchers hitting home runs is fun. It's not a very common occurrence in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes they're the most exciting moments in the game.
Rockies lefty Tyler Anderson, though, hit his first career homer in Saturday night's 8-3 win over the Phillies at Coors Field and that might have been the third-most special part of his evening.
You see, Anderson entered the game 0-3 in three career starts for the Rockies, all of them having taken place this season. Up until Saturday's start, Anderson had gone 0-10 at the plate, with one sacrifice bunt in his 11 trips to the dish. Naturally, then, Anderson cracked a third-inning single to right field for his first career hit.
Two innings later, with the Rockies trailing 2-0, Anderson turned on an inside pitch from Jerad Eickhoff and deposited it over the wall in right for a game-tying homer -- obviously his very first round-tripper.

Those two offensive exploits look even better back-to-back:

The Rockies then scored a bunch of runs (perhaps aided by the #RallyHawk) and ran out to an 8-2 lead, with which Anderson cruised to the victory -- which, if you've been paying attention to the rest of this story, was the first win of his career in the Majors. In all, he tossed six innings, scattering nine hits and allowing just two earned runs in the process.
After the game, catcher Tony Wolters, who scored on Anderson's blast, spoke with MLB.com's Ben Weinrib about his thoughts as it happened:
"I didn't think that thing was a home run. I didn't think he had muscles like that. I was running my hardest. [Third base coach] Stu [Cole gave me the home run signal] and I was like 'What? No way.' I looked behind me and he goes a little trot. He didn't know what to do. He's like 'What speed do I run on the bases?' It was awesome."
And as you'd imagine, Anderson felt pretty good about it all:
"Absolutely memorable," Anderson said. "Not something to dwell on, but something to remember for sure. It's gratifying, yeah. But I love this game. All of that is just part of the grind. The whole season is a grind, so that just makes this more beautiful."
That's a pretty decent Saturday night, and not bad for a young man who only had two base hits in his Minor League career and zero in college.
