Ryan McMahon hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh and the Colorado Rockies overcame Grant Holmes' 15-strikeout performance to beat the Atlanta Braves 10-1 on Sunday and avoid a series sweep. The Rockies have lost 22 of 23 series this season.

Atlanta Braves pitcher Grant Holmes struck out 15 batters in 6⅓ innings, one shy of the team record for a nine-inning game set by Spencer Strider in 2022

The Colorado Rockies have reinstated left-hander Austin Gomber from the 60-day injured list before his start against the Atlanta Braves.

Bird (2-1) was brought from the bullpen in the bottom of the sixth of Colorado's 10-1 win over the Braves Sunday. Bird entered with a 1-0 lead and immediately gave up a single to Ronald Acuna Jr. Austin Riley singled to left, advanced to second and Acuna Jr. was thrown out at home.
