Raimel Tapia’s diving catch saves Rockies’ 7-6 win over Diamondbacks

Raimel Tapia committed Coors Field robbery and saved the day for the Rockies.

And at the end of a wild Saturday afternoon of baseball, Colorado walked off the field with a 7-6 win over fading Arizona, which lost its seventh consecutive game.

With two outs and the bases loaded in the seventh inning, Tapia sprinted in on pinch hitter Andrew Young’s shallow flyball to left field. Tapia left his feet, did a faceplant and made a sensational catch. When the ball came off Young’s bat, it looked destined to be the kind of bloop hit that’s made Coors Field infamous.
