The 34-year-old outfielder blasted a three-run homer with two out in the bottom of the seventh inning of Game 2 to lift the Rockies to an 8-6 win over San Francisco.
It was the fourth walk-off home run of his career and first since a hitting a grand slam to beat the Dodgers on Sept. 11, 2020.
The two teams face off at 1:10 p.m. Wednesday in a rubber match. Jon Gray (3-2, 3.15 ERA) takes the mound for Colorado against Logan Webb (1-2, 4.13 ERA).
