The Colorado Rockies won last night’s extra-inning contest in dramatic fashion. After being down 5-3 in the ninth inning, Sam Hilliard smashed a pinch-hit two-run homer to tie the game and then Brenton Doyle poked a sharply-hit single into left field to score ghost runner Aaron Schunk and walk off the game 6-5.
While we’ve been talking about another potential 100-loss season, the Rockies have actually won 17 of their last 28 home games with series wins over the Kansas City Royals, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres and Chicago Cubs.
