Nolan Arenado and Mark Reynolds knocked back-to-back home runs in the top of the first inning as the snow swirled around downtown Denver, helping the Colorado Rockies jump out to a 7-0 lead. However, it was a sixth-inning rally and an eighth-inning RBI single from Trevor Story that finally pushed the Rockies to a 12-11 victory and upped their record to 17-20 on the season.
Colorado’s offense started quickly on Thursday but needed even more as the game wore on because Rockies pitching once again couldn’t hold a lead or keep the other team from scoring by hitting home runs.
