The Rockies broke open a one-run game with a seven-run sixth inning Thursday at Coors Field, beating the Marlins 14-4 to split the four-game series and win their second straight. According to the AP, seven consecutive Colorado batters reached base during the rally, which turned a 5-4 lead into a 12-4 advantage.

Jake McCarthy drove in four runs, two of them on his seventh home run of the season — a 429-foot shot, per the AP — and is now hitting .298. Mickey Moniak went 3-for-5 with his 15th home run, a double and three runs scored, homering for a third consecutive game. Game logs confirm the run: June 30, July 1 and July 2. He also finished one hit shy of the cycle for the second straight night and the third time this season — Thursday, the missing piece was a triple, the hit Coors Field’s outfield dimensions are famously kind to. Troy Johnston and Willi Castro added two RBI apiece.

The win came despite a difficult night for starter Michael Lorenzen, who walked six over 4.1 innings and allowed four runs. The bullpen closed the door: Victor Vodnik, Brennan Bernardino and Zach Agnos combined for 4.2 scoreless innings, with Bernardino earning the win.

As ever with this team, the altitude context is worth stating plainly. Colorado is 35-53 overall, but the record splits into two different seasons: 20-24 at Coors Field and 15-29 on the road. A 14-run night at home fits the first season — competitive, occasionally explosive — while the road record remains the reason the club sits last in the National League West. The distinction matters for evaluating everything that happens here, including nights like Thursday: the offense is real at altitude and unproven away from it, and the front office’s deadline decisions will likely be shaped by the second number, not the first.

The Giants arrive tonight to open a weekend series in Denver.
