Gausman (8-8) allowed one run and three hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked two.

Bichette hit a three-run homer off Kyle Freeland (2-12) in the third for a 3-1 lead. Nathan Lukes had a two-run triple in the fifth and Schneider homered off Angel Chivilli to begin a five-run sixth. Guerrero connected in the eighth.

The Rockies (30-84), meanwhile, continued a seasonlong spiral.

They now have a run differential of -316 for the season. Their 114 games are the fewest to reach a -300 run differential since 1900, surpassing the 1911 Boston Rustlers (118 games). The last team to reach the mark in fewer games was the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who did so in 73 games before folding at the end of the season.

“It’s a really good team that puts the ball in play a ton. That’s what they do,” Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer told reporters. “It’s why they’re on top of the American League. So you’ve got to tip your hat to them, and we’ve got to make better pitches.”
