Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (27) goes high to avoid the Atlanta Braves’ Ender Inciarte after catching him stealing second base during the sixth inning of Saturday night’s game in Atlanta.ATLANTA – After four at-bats Saturday night at SunTrust Park, D.J. LeMahieu was still looking for his first hit and felt he hadn’t made good contact.
He saved his best swing for the extra inning.
The Colorado Rockies struck for three runs with two outs in the ninth inning before LeMahieu homered over the center field wall in the 10th in a 5-3 win over the Atlanta Braves.
LeMahieu’s drive off Luke Jackson cleared the 400-foot mark – the deepest part of the park.
“I hadn’t really hit the ball hard all night,” he said. “I was just trying to get on base.”
