Jason Hinchman laced a two-run double in the top of the 1st inning to put the Rockies on the board 2-0, then Cole Roederer hammered an oppo-field HR over the LF fence (his second bomb in two days) to open the bottom of the 1st inning and Adan Sanchez belted a solo HR one out later (extending his hitting streak to six games and his consecutive on base streak to ten games) as the Cubs tied up the game 2-2, then Roederer walked leading off the bottom of the 5th before Sanchez drove him in with a one-out double into the LF corner to give the Cubs a 3-2 lead, but then Dayan Jorge rifled a line-drive two-out two-run single into CF with the bases loaded off Daniel Palencia to put the Rockies back in front 4-3 in the 8th, and finally Lizardo Ruiz drilled a double down the LF line leading off the bottom of the 9th and scored the tying run on a two-out line-drive triple yanked into the RF corner by Anderson Suriel, as the two teams played to a 4-4 tie in Cactus League Extended Spring Training game action Friday morning on Field #6 at the Riverview Baseball Complex in Mesa, AZ.
