DENVER -- The Rockies continued their late-season surge at home with a dramatic 6-5 walk-off victory in 10 innings over the Cubs on Saturday night at Coors Field.

Down to their final out in the ninth, pinch-hitter Sam Hilliard stepped to the plate representing the tying run. On a 1-0 count, he belted a 96.5 mph fastball from Cubs reliever Porter Hodge over the wall in right-center field for a game-tying home run. It was the fifth pinch-hit homer of Hilliard’s career.

In the 10th, Brenton Doyle delivered a game-winning single down the left-field line to lift Colorado to its 17th win in its last 28 games at Coors Field.

Kyle Freeland was solid for seven innings, yielding three runs on seven hits while walking one and striking out three. Over his last 16 starts, he owns a 3.59 ERA, one of the best stretches he’s had since his great 2018 campaign, for which he finished fourth in National League Cy Young Award voting.

Prior to Hilliard’s late-game heroics, Colorado’s offense was limited to three runs thanks to a solo homer by Michael Toglia in the seventh and a pair of Doyle sacrifice flies. With the homer, Toglia retook the team lead in homers this season, with 24.
