DENVER — Atlanta took the lead in the second inning on Jonah Heim’s three‑run homer and held control the rest of the way in an 11–6 win over Colorado on Sunday at Coors Field.
Heim’s homer turned a 1–0 deficit into a 3–1 lead. Ozzie Albies added an RBI single in the fifth, and Matt Olson followed with an RBI double as Atlanta pushed the margin to 6–3. The Braves added another run in the sixth before Heim delivered a two‑run double in the ninth, extending the lead to 11–5.
Colorado’s offense came from Mickey Moniak, who hit a two‑run homer in the fourth and a solo homer in the eighth. The Rockies scored once in the fifth on a sacrifice fly and added another in the ninth.
The win moved Atlanta to 26–11, completed the three‑game sweep, and marked the club’s fourth straight game with at least five runs, while Colorado dropped its sixth straight and fell to 14–22.
