It was the first home run by a Rockies pitcher since Kyle Kendrick on September 7, 2015, at San Diego.You never take a hitter for granted whether its a pitcher or not, Eickhoff said.

Gray stayed in the game and went 6 1/3 innings, but Rockies manager Walt Weiss thought the ankle did affect his pitcher near the end of his outing.
