VFL Jordan Beck recorded three hits and two RBIs to help Colorado find a 6-4 win over Minnesota in its return from the All-Star break on Friday night in Denver.
Beck was ready to return from his time off the field. In his first at bat in the bottom of the first inning, Beck roped a high line-drive triple to right field past the outstretched glove of center fielder Byron Buxton.
Beck recorded one RBI on the hit and would later score from a home run from Ryan McMahon on the very next at-bat.
