ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 TJ Rumfield got a gift when his long flyball bounced off Jo Adell’s head for a most unusual home run,<\/a> and the Colorado Rockies defeated the Los Angeles Angels 8-2 on Tuesday night.<\/p>

Willi Castro hit a three-run homer in the fourth inning and Hunter Goodman had a solo shot in the second. Tomoyuki Sugano (5-4) allowed two runs in five innings for the Rockies, who have won four of five after losing eight of nine.<\/p>\n

Castro and Rumfield hit back-to-back homers in the fourth off starter Grayson Rodriguez (2-2), who gave up eight runs, eight hits and three walks in 3 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

With the Rockies holding a 7-0 lead, Rumfield sent a drive to deep right-center, where the ball grazed the outside of Adell\u2019s glove before hitting his head and bounding over the wall.<\/p>\n

There was brief confusion on the field when the ball caromed back into the outfield. Rumfield stopped at second base, initially unsure of the ruling, before proceeding around the bases.<\/p>

Goodman hit his 15th homer to left field in the second. He has homered in back-to-back games. Ezequiel Tovar had a sacrifice fly in the inning, and Edouard Julien added an RBI single that made it 3-0.<\/p>\n

Castro\u2019s three-run homer to right made it 7-0 in a five-run fourth.<\/p>\n

Wade Meckler had a two-run double for the Angels in the fifth before a trio of Rockies relievers combined for four scoreless innings.<\/p>\n

Rockies RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-7, 7.22 ERA) faces RHP Walbert Ure\u00f1a (2-4, 2.44) in the series finale Wednesday night.<\/p>
