The Rockies were scored upon early and couldn’t figure out Brandon Woodruff at all. It seemed an inevitable defeat was in store, yet Colorado’s bats woke up late and beat up Milwaukee’s bullpen to score an improbable walk-off victory 10-7 on Tuesday.
Chad Kuhl’s first inning was inauspicious, to say the least. The game’s first hitter, Christian Yelich, took Kuhl’s middle-middle changeup out to what seemed like the stratosphere, a 499-foot home run that gave Milwaukee an early 1-0 lead. The homer is the longest hit by a left-handed hitter in the Statcast era, and the second-longest overall.
