Rockies hit two homers in 9th to rally vs. slumping Nationals
June 17 - Mickey Moniak's two-run home run capped a three-run ninth inning and the visiting Colorado Rockies rallied past Washington 6-4 Monday night, sending the reeling Nationals to their ninth straight loss.
Hunter Goodman led off the ninth with the Rockies trailing 4-3 and smacked his second homer of the night, a shot to center against closer Kyle Finnegan (0-2), to tie it.
Thairo Estrada singled with one out. Brenton Doyle popped out, but pinch runner Sam Hilliard stole second and Moniak homered to right, just beyond the reach of a leaping Daylen Lile.
Moniak added a triple for the Rockies, who have won two straight.
Victor Vodnik (2-2) pitched the eighth and Seth Halvorsen pitched around a leadoff walk in the ninth for his fourth save.
James Wood had a two-run home run, a double and a walk for Washington, which is 0-4 on its seven-game homestand. Third baseman Brady House, Washington's first-round draft pick in 2021, went 0-for-3 with a walk in his MLB debut.
Nationals starter Jake Irvin allowed three runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out five and walked one.
Carson Palmquist, starting in place of the injured Kyle Freeland, gave up four runs on four hits -- two of them home runs -- over 4 2/3 innings.
The Rockies took a 2-0 lead in the first inning when Tyler Freeman singled with one out and Goodman followed with a home run to center.
Washington, which was swept over the weekend by the last-place Miami Marlins, got on the board in the fourth. CJ Abrams walked, stole second and third, and scored on Amed Rosario's sacrifice fly.
Moniak tripled leading off the fifth and scored the Rockies' third run when Michael Toglia, recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Albuquerque, lined a single to center.
The Nationals took the lead in the fifth. Lile, just recalled from Triple-A Rochester, led off with his first major league home run to make it 3-2. Alex Call singled with one out and Wood smacked his 18th home run of the season, an opposite shot to left, to give Washington a 4-3 lead.

Atmosphere for Chelsea's Club World Cup opener a bit strange, says Maresca
June 17 (Reuters) - Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said the atmosphere at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was "a bit strange" as his side began their Club World Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC in front of swathes of empty seats. The multi-purpose stadium has a 71,000 capacity but Monday's group stage match, which kicked-off at 3 p.m., attracted little over 22,000 spectators. Atlanta is over 2,000 miles (3,220 km) away from Los Angeles, where Major League Soccer club LAFC are based. "It was a good match, a good performance," Maresca told reporters. "I think the environment was a bit strange. The stadium was almost empty. Not full." The Italian expected more fans to be in attendance when they take on Brazilian side Flamengo at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Friday. "We prepared for this game also thinking that the environment was a bit different," Maresca said. "But no doubt that the next one will be a nice one because we know that the Brazilian team, they always bring many, many fans. So we will try to be ready for the next one." Maresca was asked about what impact he expects from forward Liam Delap, who joined the club for around 30 million pounds from Ipswich Town ($40.73 million) on a six-year deal. Nicolas Jackson, Christopher Nkunku and Marc Guiu are already options for the number nine shirt at Chelsea but the 22-year-old Englishman wasted no time in showcasing his potential, setting up Enzo Fernandez for their second goal on Monday. "I am curious to see how Nico reacts (to Delap)," said Maresca. "He competed with Guiu, who is very young, during the season. They are both good number nines." Chelsea are level with Flamengo at the top of the group after the Brazilians beat Esperance de Tunis 2-0. ($1 = 0.7366 pounds)
