Elias Díaz ended Wednesday’s game wearing a bubblegum container crown and a getting Powerade dunk. It was gorgeous.
After a roller-coaster game where the White Sox had all the momentum, Díaz hit a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth for the Rockies second walk-off win of the season. It was the fourth of Díaz’s career and third as a Rockie. The clutch hit came after the bullpen blew a 3-2 lead and after Chicago’s own bullpen collapse. Kendall Graveman issued three straight walks — to Brendan Rodgers, José Iglesias, and Ryan McMahon — before Díaz swung at the first pitch and sent a single past a diving Josh Harrison at second base.
