It apparently was a Saturday night for home runs as Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman decided to bust through the 40-home-run plateau.

Goodman not only hit his 40th home run, but added his 41st homer, and collected four RBIs as Colorado defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-6 at Dart Field in Chicago. It's been a bit of a stretch since the Rockies came out on the winning side, so they can enjoy this one for sure.

Colorado jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. TJ Rumfield's RBI single started the Rockies off, followed by Adael Amador's two-run single, that put the Rockies in the driver's seat early.

The White Sox scored single runs in the second and third innings, but Colorado countered with single runs in the third and fourth innings. Goodman slammed his 40th homer in the third inning, sending the ball over the left-field wall. Ezequiel Tovar went deep, too, hitting his 13th dinger over the left-center field wall.

Down 5-2, Chicago added a run in the bottom of the seventh inning. That closed things up to 5-3, leading to an offensive outburst between both teams in the ninth inning.

Thankfully, the Rockies scored four runs in the top of the ninth and the White Sox came back with three runs, but it wasn't enough.

Cole Carrigg's RBI single gave Colorado a 6-3 advantage, then Goodman put the icing on the cake. He smashed a three-run homer, his 41st, over the left-field wall again. Jake McCarthy and Carrigg scored ahead of Goodman.

Seeing the Rockies get a victory in Game No. 161 has to make some fans feel a bit of joy. Of course, the overall record this season hasn't been what either they or the Rockies wanted to see happen.

Goodman, though, should be penciled in as the team's MVP. There have been some solid efforts this season from players like Carrigg, Rumfield, and McCarthy. Still, the one player whose presence does strike some fear in opposing pitchers is Goodman himself.

Jose Quintana got the start for Colorado, going three innings, giving up two hits, two earned runs, walked two, struck out three, and surrendered two home runs. Ryan Feltner followed and ended up getting the win, putting his record now at 7-14. He worked 3.2 innings, giving up three hits, one run (not earned), two walks and three strikeouts.

Brennan Bernardino and Jordan Romano came out of the bullpen to keep the game in check. The White Sox went through seven pitchers on Saturday night, just not good enough.

Now, Colorado has just Sunday's finale, Game No. 162, before the offseason starts in earnest.
