Staked to a 9-1 lead after six innings, the Rockies found a way to win a game that would have eluded them in years past. Now 10-2 in one-run games and winners of six straight against the Giants for the first time in franchise history, all was well in LoDo as the crowd spilled out of the stadium after an almost four-hour game.
However, masked by all of the joy of the victory, there is a bit of a concern. Colorado’s bullpen reverted to its old ways on Thursday night. That’s something that simply can’t happen as this team continues to fight every night for supremacy in the National League West.
