ANAHEIM, Calif.—Jake Cave hit a tying two-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning, and the Colorado Rockies scored on an error in the 10th to beat the Los Angeles Angels 5–4 on Thursday night.

Cave homered off Hunter Strickland, the veteran right-hander who is being used to finish games after closer Carlos Estevez was traded to Philadelphia on Saturday.
