Story slam overcomes 2 Harper homers, Rockies top Phils 12-2

<p>DENVER &mdash; Trevor Story hit a grand slam to cap a seven-run fourth inning, letting loose a shout to his dugout and a big bat flip, and the Colorado Rockies overcame two solo home runs by Bryce Harper to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 12-2 on Sunday.</p>
<p>Story hit his third career slam and second home run on a 2-2 curveball from Dave Hale, sending the ball 433 feet into the left-field seats. Story did not hit his first home run of the season until Friday, in his 68th at-bat.</p>
<p>Harper hit a 430-foot drive to right-center in the first and a 468-foot drive that landed on the second deck above Philadelphia’s bullpen beyond right-center in the third, both off Sonny Gray (3-1). Harper, who has six homers, also threw out Cron at the plate from right field in the second inning trying to score on Dom Nunez’s single, which preserved a 1-0 lead.</p>
<p>Colorado had a season-high 16 hits, four by Cron — including two in the fourth inning, Cron hit a two-run homer off Bailey Falter in the eighth.</p>
<p>Gray allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. All his wins have come at home.</p>
<p>Chase Anderson (0-3) gave up six runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings.</p>
<p>Philadelphia lead 2-0 before Colorado sent 12 batters to the plate in the fourth. Josh Fuentes’ sacrifice fly started the comeback, Gray had a tying single and Raimel Tapia’s a go-ahead single. Hale relieved with the bases loaded, and Story homered for a 7-2 lead.</p>
