Heading into Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles at Coors Field, the Colorado Rockies had walked 13 times as a team in the ninth inning of the previous 42 games where they had played in the ninth. On Sunday, however, veterans Daniel Murphy, Mark Reynolds and Ian Desmond all walked with one out before Tony Wolters delivered a game-winning sacrifice fly to give Colorado an 8-7 win.
On Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Trevor Story and Raimel Tapia drew ninth-inning walks while Ryan McMahon and Brendan Rodgers walked in the 10th inning before Tapia drove him the winning run in the 11th.
