Of course, much of the emotion came in Friday night’s eventual comeback win as Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl went down with a high ankle sprain in the sixth inning. As teammates rushed to his side, Dahl agonized on the ground. As he was helped to a cart to be taken off the field, Dahl’s emotions broke through in tears.
With Dahl down, the Rockies rallied for a 5-4 victory and offensive star of the night Ryan McMahon admitted after the game that the injured outfielder (and teammate and friend) was heavy on his heart.
The Rockies continued to show emotion on Saturday night, paced by a smile-worthy play by All-Star Nolan Arenado.
