Colorado Rockies win on walk-off wild pitch

The Rockies used some small ball in the bottom of the ninth to emerge with a 6-5 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

After John Axford allowed a solo home run to Reds first baseman Joey Votto that tied the game at five in the top of the ninth, Rockies center fielder Charlie Blackmon led off the bottom of the inning with a bunt single. Blackmon then stole second on Ryan Mattheus' first pitch to second baseman DJ LeMahieu on a play that was overturned on review and advanced to third on LeMahieu's ground out to second.
