Carlos Gonzalez can still play.

And Jon Gray can still pitch.

Really, really well.

Gonzalez was 2-3 with a home run and two RBIs and Gray handcuffed the Cardinals over seven-and-a-third innings and helped the Rockies take game two of the series, 6-3, Tuesday night at Busch Stadium.

After St. Louis leadoff man Matt Carpenter hit a home run off Gray to start the bottom of the first, the Rockies used three consecutive multiple-run innings to build what turned out to be an insurmountable lead.

Charlie Blackmon's two-run homer in the fifth put the Rockies up 2-1. Then, Trevor Story and Gerardo Parra delievered RBI doubles to push the lead to 4-1 in the sixth.

Then it was CarGo's turn and his two-run home run in the seventh made it 6-1.

Gray allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits with two walks and five strikeouts. The win raised his record to 9-7.

Game three of the series is Wednesday night at 5:35 p.m. MDT on KOA NewsRadio 850 AM and 94.1 FM.
