Carlos Narvaez, Wilyer Abreu, Romy Gonzalez and Jarren Duran each homered and Lucas Giolito pitched six scoreless innings to help the Boston Red Sox complete a three-game sweep of the visiting Colorado Rockies by posting a 10-2 victory Wednesday.
Giolito (6-1) surrendered four hits and struck out six without a walk. He has allowed three earned runs in his last six starts (38 2/3 innings) and pitched at least six innings in each of those outings.
Narvaez hit a solo home run off Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela in the bottom of the second inning and Abreu added a two-run homer against Senzatela in the fifth. Seth Halvorsen gave up a two-run homer to Gonzalez in the eighth and then Duran hit a three-run homer against Halvorsen later in the inning.
Senzatela (3-13) was pulled after five innings. He gave up four runs on eight hits, struck out three and walked one.
Kyle Farmer’s two-run home run in the eighth was the highlight for the Colorado offense.
Boston received three hits from Masataka Yoshida, who made his season debut after being activated from the 60-day injured list earlier in the day. Yoshida missed Boston’s first 93 games while recovering from offseason surgery on his right shoulder.
The Red Sox have won six in a row and eight of their last nine.
Tyler Freeman, Jordan Beck and Michael Toglia each collected two hits for the Rockies, who have lost three in a row.
Narvaez opened the scoring by hitting his eighth home run of the season. The Red Sox led 2-0 after Yoshida’s RBI single in the fourth drove in Narvaez.
Abreu’s 18th home run of the season came with Roman Anthony on first and increased the lead to 4-0.
It was 5-0 after David Hamilton drove in Gonzalez with a single in the sixth.
Farmer’s home run came against Isaiah Campbell and made it a 5-2 game in the eighth, but Boston regained a five-run lead when Gonzalez homered in the eighth. Duran’s three-run home run capped the scoring.
Boston outscored Colorado 29-7 in the series.
