DENVER — Brenton Doyle homered and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning to help the Colorado Rockies beat the slumping Atlanta Braves 6-5 on Friday night. Atlanta has lost six in a row to drop out of an NL wild card spot a week after it was challenging the first-place Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. Atlanta had won nine in a row against the Rockies since Sept. 5, 2021, including seven straight at Coors Field, but couldn't extend the streak.
