Hunter Goodman scored the tiebreaking run on a wild pitch in the eighth inning, and the visiting Colorado Rockies edged the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in the opener of a three-game series Friday night.

Chase Burns (0-1) started and pitched six innings for the Reds. He totaled 10 strikeouts and 95 pitches, including 63 strikes, against 25 batters. Jordan Beck started in left field and batted cleanup in the Rockies' lineup. He went 0-for-3 against Burns and was struck out twice.

On its face, a three-game set in steamy July against 21-win Colorado might not seem like much of an attraction. But it should be.
