The Rockies beat the Marlines 7-6 in a wild, ten inning game at Coors Field on Sunday afternoon. Garrett Hampson hit a walk off single with the bases loaded in the tenth inning. It was a taco’s type of walkoff.
The win finishes off the sweep against Miami, and it gave the Rockies their fourth consecutive win.
If you haven’t heard, Scott Oberg has been placed on the IL and is out for the season with blood clots in his right arm. That leaves the closer role open on the Rockies. Call me crazy, but it doesn’t seem intuitive, or even a good idea, to just give it back to the guy who pitched poorly enough to lose the job in the first place.
