Caleb Gidnl's RBI double scored Lucroy to make it a three-run game.

"When you put the team in a hole like that early, it's hard to come back," McHugh said.
In the second, Norichika Aoki singled, stole second then scored on a Segura single to center.
Gomez opened the third with a base hit and Francisco followed two batters later with his two-run shot to right field to make it a six-run game.
The Rockies rallied for four runs in the sixth inning. DJ LeMahieu doubled then scored on a Tulowitzki base hit to center. After Michael Cuddyer walked, Rosario smashed a three-run blast to left field to pull Colorado within 6-4.
Lucroy cracked a solo homer in the seventh to make it 7-4. and Tulowitzki's solo blast in the seventh pulled the Rockies within two runs.
"Lucroy adding on the home run was really big," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "We needed to add on."
