DENVER (AP) — Charlie Blackmon hit a go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning to lift the Colorado Rockies to a 4-2 victory against the Texas Rangers on Friday night.

The Rockies earned consecutive victories for the first time this season. They had been the only team yet to win back-to-back games and the 37-game streak without consecutive victories was the longest drought in franchise history.

“They weren’t going to come in here and feel bad for us,” Rockies starter Austin Gomber said. “That’s kind of been the sentiment: Nobody feels bad for us. If we’re playing bad, these teams aren’t coming in here and they’re not going to feel bad for us.

“It’s nice to just kind of feel like we’ve got a little bit of momentum going.”

Blackmon had just 12 hits in his previous 69 at-bats — an average of .174 — when he came up against Yerry Rodríguez with runners on first and second and two outs and the game tied at 2. He hit a sharp line drive to center field that brought home Brenton Doyle and Jake Cave to break a 2-2 tie.
