It looked like it would be a pitchers duel. Just one more game the Colorado Rockies had to win on the strength of their pitching, defense, and oh-that-bullpen. And then the sixth inning happened. Cincinnati Reds starter Lisalverto Bonilla came into the inning down by just one run having recovered nicely from some early struggles, but the Rockies offense positively exploded in their most impressive single-frame output of 2017.
Tyler Anderson did his part, pitching six strong innings and making just one mistake while the game was still close, and the Rockies ultimately cruised to a 12-6 victory, continuing their mind-bogglingly fantastic play away from Coors Field.
