Tovar Hits 3-Run Homer, Rockies Beat Minnesota Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- — Ezequiel Tovar hit a three-run homer, Cal Quantrill kept his strong run going with six scoreless innings and the Colorado Rockies held on to beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 on Tuesday night.
Colorado had just one hit in five innings against Twins starter Louie Varland, who was recalled from Triple-A St. Paul earlier in the day. With reliever Caleb Thielbar starting the sixth inning, Charlie Blackmon singled and Brenton Doyle walked before Tovar lined a pitch over the wall in left field for his 11th homer of the season.

Tyler Kinley allowed a two-run homer to Minnesota's Carlos Santana with two outs in the ninth but earned his fifth save in as many chances for the Rockies.
In the series finale RHP Pablo López (5-6, 5.45 ERA) will start for Minnesota on Wednesday. Colorado counters with LHP Austin Gomber (1-3, 3.38).
