ANAHEIM, Calif. — You would think the baseball gods would be done punishing the Rockies. Nope.
With manager Walt Weiss having to undergo an appendectomy and starting pitcher Jordan Lyles knocked off the mound after one inning, the Rockies were on the brink of beating the Los Angeles Angels and halting their 10-game losing streak Wednesday night.
Nothing doing. The streak lives on at 11.
The Rockies lost 2-1 in the 11th inning when Albert Pujols hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to left.
The Rockies appeared on the brink of victory in the top of the 11th when Daniel Descalso hit an apparent sacrifice fly to center fielder Mike Trout.
