    Connor Joe considered this homer, this moment, one of the top highlights of his burgeoning career.

    Diagnosed with testicular cancer while with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization in 2020, he underwent surgery and treatment before signing with the Colorado Rockies following that season. He's been a fan favorite since his arrival at Coors Field — and even more now.

    Joe drove in two runs, including a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning, and closer Daniel Bard struck out the side in the ninth to help the Rockies beat the Dodgers 3-2 on Saturday night.
