CHICAGO (AP) — Carlos Gonzalez used his speed to beat out a potential double-play ball in the seventh inning and drive in the go-ahead run in the Colorado Rockies’ 4-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.

Andrew Brown hit his first career homer and pinch-hitter Josh Rutledge had a two-run shot for Colorado, which has won six of seven. Carlos Torres (3-1) threw 2 1-3 scoreless innings as four Rockies relievers combined for five innings of one-hit ball.

Brett Jackson hit a two-run homer for Chicago. Manuel Corpas (0-1) got the loss.
