Raimel Tapia homered with one out in the ninth, Trevor Story, C.J. Cron and Garrett Hampson also went deep, and the host Colorado Rockies beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Friday night.

Tapia finished with three hits and Hampson and Story had two each for the Rockies. Mychal Givens (1-1) pitched one inning for the win.

Rhys Hoskins homered, J.T. Realmuto tripled among his three hits, and Alec Bohm and Nick Maton had two hits apiece for Philadelphia.

Tapia was down 0-2 to Hector Neris (1-2) but drove a splitter into the seats in right field to end it. It was his third of the season.

The Phillies took an early 2-0 lead with a pair of groundouts. Realmuto led off the second with a triple off the scoreboard in right field and came home on Didi Gregorius' grounder to second.

In the fourth inning, Bryce Harper led off with a walk and went to third on Realmuto's single. With one out, Bohm hit a slow roller to short, and Harper raced home to give Philadelphia a 2-0 lead.

The Rockies tied it in their half of the fourth. Story led off with a 373-foot homer to left, his first of the season, and one out later, Cron homered to right-center, his second of the season.

Yonathan Daza and Hampson followed with singles but Vince Velasquez got Dom Nunez to pop out and fanned Marquez to end the inning.

Velasquez, in a spot start with lefty Matt Moore on the COVID-19 list, allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four in four innings.

The Phillies went ahead 4-2 in the seventh when Roman Quinn led off with a double, stole third and scored on Andrew McCutchen's sacrifice fly. Hoskins followed with his fourth homer of the season.

Colorado got a run back in the bottom of the seventh on consecutive singles by Sam Hilliard, Tapia and Ryan McMahon. Hampson's second homer of the season in the bottom of the eighth tied it again.

Colorado starter German Marquez allowed two runs on six hits and struck out eight in six innings.
