Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story keeps on hitting.
And Rockies keep rolling.
They broke out the bats and defeated the Seattle Mariners, 10-7, in the first game of a three-game series Friday night at Coors Field.
Story broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run home run to center field in the third inning, his 19th home run of the season. Tony Wolters' two-run single capped a four-run fifth and the Rockies lead was at 8-3.
An inning later, Story's double brought in Nolan Arenado and Carlos Gonzalez to make it 10-3 Rockies.
Seattle closed the gap with four runs in the seventh but Adam Ottavino and Wade Davis shut down the Mariners in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively.
Story finished 2-5 with four RBIs. He now has 67 RBIs this year.
