CINCINNATI, July 31 (UPI) -- Chris Iannetta and Carlos Gonzalez hit homers on consecutive pitches in the eighth inning Friday, lifting the Colorado Rockies to a 5-3 victory over Cincinnati.
The Reds, fast fading from contention in the National League Central, lost their fourth in a row.
Colorado never trailed, but saw the Reds rally to tie it in the sixth on solo homers by Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips. It was the 16th homer of the year for both players.
David Weathers (2-3) came on for Cincinnati with the score knotted at 3-3 in the eighth and he quickly got two strikes on Iannetta. After working the count full, Iannetta homered to left-center to give the Rockies the lead. He also contributed a sacrifice fly in the third.
Gonzalez hit the next delivery from Weathers over the wall in right for just his second home run of the season.
The win went to Franklin Morales (2-0), who retired the only man he faced in the game. Morales came on with two on and two out and the score tied in the seventh and got Joey Votto to fly out to center.
Huston Street worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 27th save.
