For the pitchers involved in this scorefest, it was the nightmare on Black Street.
But for the Rockies, it was a much-needed albeit sloppy 12-11 victory over San Francisco on a frigid-and-snowy Thursday afternoon at Coors Field that took 3 hours, 56 minutes.
Classic baseball it was not, but the Rockies showed resiliency after squandering an early 7-0 lead. Colorado has allowed four or more runs in 15 consecutive games, tying the longest such streak in franchise history. The victory wasn’t secure until closer Wade Davis notched his sixth save, but only after giving up two runs on three hits in the ninth.
