Ben Paulsen's walk-off single lifts Rockies past Rangers

No lead is ever presumed safe at Coors Field. That's especially true when the 2015 Rockies take the diamond.

The Rockies blew an early 7-0 lead, but then stormed back to beat the Texas Rangers 8-7 on Monday night before an announced crowd of 35,027 at Coors Field.

The unlikely and certainly relieved hero was Ben Paulsen, who had appeared to be the fall guy for an earlier mental error. Paulsen delivered a walk-off single off the Rangers' Tanner Scheppers to win the game, chasing home Drew Stubbs, who was pinch running for Troy Tulowitzki. Tulo opened the inning with a single.
