Backed by an onslaught of offense, the Colorado Rockies cruised past the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday night, 11-4.

The victory marks the end of a three-game losing streak for the Rockies as the club will now try to salvage a split in the series before returning home for a lengthy homestand at Coors Field.

Ahead are takeaways from the Rockies victory.

The Rockies finally top the Brewers 

The Rockies managed to snap a five-game losing streak versus the Brewers.

Entering the game, the Rockies were 2-12 in their last 14 games versus Milwaukee, including their sweep in the National League Divison Series last year.

The Brewers have been a thorn in the Rockies’ side for quite some time, but Miller Park has been a completely different animal for Colorado’s hitters until Wednesday.

The club entered the game losers of four straight in Milwaukee, posting a .164 batting average with just 18 runs scored in that span.

The Rockies’ fortunes turned Wednesday as the club slugged their way to 11 runs and 10 hits with eight of the Rockies’ nine starters collecting hits.

Wednesday’s game represented the first time the Rockies plated double-digit runs on the road since August 17th of last season. Additionally, it’s the first time the Rockies have scored 10 runs at Miller Park since Opening Day, 2015.

3’s company 

Rockies’ sluggers Trevor Story and Nolan Areando each blasted three-run home runs en route to the victory versus the Brewers.

Arenado got the scoring started for the Rockies in the first inning when he roped a 1-0 pitch over the fence in center field to put the Rockies ahead 3-0.

Trevor Story put the icing on the cake for the Rockies in the eighth inning when he cranked a towering home run to right-center field to provide Colorado with a comfortable six-run lead entering the final two frames.

Both Arenado and Story have a long history of success versus the Brewers.

Nolan Arenado is a career .352 hitter (44-for-125) versus the Brewers and has hit safely in 26-of-32 games played versus the Brew Crew.

Story thrived against the Brewers in the regular season last year, hitting seven home runs and driving in 18 RBI’s while becoming the fifth player in club history to hit seven or more home runs against a non-divisional opponent in a single season. He was the first to do so since Todd Helton in 1999 versus the Montreal Expos.

Wolters, Blackmon come up clutch

Catcher Tony Wolters and outfielder Charlie Blackmon came up with clutch hits late in the ballgame to help push Colorado to their first victory since last Saturday.

With the game tied at four runs apiece in the sixth inning, in the midst of a rally, the tandem produced back-to-back RBI base hits to push the Rockies ahead late.

Wolters generated the first hit with runners on first and second. After working the count to 2-1, Wolters slapped a ball up the middle to score a run and re-establish a pivotal lead.

Blackmon followed by adding an insurance run, smacking the first pitch of his at-bat down the line in right field, scoring another run to give the Rockies bullpen a two-run lead entering the ladder part of the game.

Blackmon is hitting .352 (20-for-57) with five doubles, two triples, three home runs and 10
RBI’s over the last 13 games.

Blackmon has significantly improved since the start of the season where hit .219 through the first 17 games of the year.

Tapia making the most of his starts

Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia continued to show why he is worthy of being a part of the Rockies roster.

The speedster collected a double in the Rockies victory which represents the eighth consecutive start in which he has recorded a hit.

Tapia is in the midst of a make-or-break season with the Rockies and has made contributions now that he’s been provided consistent playing time.

The 25-year-old is also tied with Blackmon for the most triples (three) in the NL this season.
