Rockies' Jake McGee saves game, preserves Nolan Arenado's heroic homer

This is what Rockies closer Jake McGee faced in the ninth inning Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field:

• His team had blown a 7-1, sixth-inning lead against Arizona, with his bullpen mates contributing to yet another hard-to-watch meltdown.

Nolan Arenado, LoDo's resident Superman, had just lifted the Rockies to an 8-7 lead with a solo, two-out homer off the Diamondbacks' Tyler Clippard in the eighth.

• Starter Chad Bettis had given his team six solid innings before running into trouble.

• The Rockies were desperately trying to snap a seven-game home losing streak, their longest since 2012.
