For twists, turns, climbs, dips, and screams, The Incredicoaster at nearby Disneyland<\/a> had nothing on the goings on at Angel Stadium Monday night.<\/p>\n

The Rockies scored five runs in the eighth, powered by Hunter Goodman\u2019s three-run homer, and scored the winning run in the ninth on a sacrifice fly by TJ Rumfield<\/a> to beat the Angels 9-8.<\/p>\n

The victory marked the first time since July 16, 2016, at Atlanta\u2019s Turner Field that the Rockies won a road game when trailing by three runs entering the eighth inning.<\/p>\n

Monday night\u2019s game was a sloppy affair. Colorado committed four errors, and Los Angeles pitchers issued 10 walks \u2014 including seven by starter Jose Soriano. Soriano also hit two batters.<\/p>\n

Key moments: Colorado scored the go-ahead run in the ninth, combining a one-out single by Kyle Karros, a double by Jake McCarthy (2 for 4, a solo homer, two walks), and Rumfield\u2019s sacrifice fly.<\/p>\n

Colorado\u2019s five-run eighth included back-to-back doubles by Sterlin Thompson and Kyle Karros to open the inning, and an RBI single by Tyler Freeman. But Goodman\u2019s three-run blast off right-hander Jose Fermin was the game-saving at-bat.<\/p>\n

Goodman has hit 14 homers, with 10 coming on the road, where he\u2019s hitting .265. At Coors Field, he\u2019s hit just four homers with a .204 average.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s hot: Thompson and Karros both hit 2 for 4 from the bottom of the order. Karros is coming off a homestand in which he hit .375 (3 for 8) with a double and a home run.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s not: Left-hander Kyle Freeland, who got the start and gave up seven runs (six earned) on seven hits in 5 2\/3 innings. Freeland, who has an 8.06 ERA over 10 starts, pitched better than he has of late, but the Angels tagged him for five hits in their five-run third, including a grand slam by Jose Siri.<\/p>\n

Shortstop Ezequiel Tovar, who hit two home runs on Friday against the Giants, including his first career walk-off home run, had a rough night on Monday, striking out five times in five at-bats.<\/p>\n

Worth noting: Welinton Herrera\u2019s rookie season is over. The lefty reliever has suffered a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow and will require Tommy John surgery. Herrera pitched only\u00a0 2 1\/3 innings this season. Colorado No. 14 prospect (MLB Pipeline) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Saturday with elbow inflammation, but an MRI revealed a tear. He\u2019s now on the 60-day IL.<\/p>\n

Rockies manager Warren Schaefer told MLB.com on Monday that there is no timeline regarding surgery or recovery time for Herrera.<\/p>\n
