There were plenty of opportunities at Coors Field Saturday night. The Rockies missed most of theirs, as did the Cincinnati Reds.
But in the end, the Reds converted when it counted most, beating the Rockies 6-5 in 12 innings and halting the Rockies’ three-game winning streak.
Nick Castellanos’s RBI double off of right-hander Antonio Santos, followed by a single from Nick Senzel and a run-scoring groundout by Eugenio Suarez produced the two runs Cincy needed. Santos, called up from Triple-A earlier in the day, was the only reliever left in Colorado’s bullpen.
The Rockies pushed across a run in the 12th, but with no one position players left on the bench, they had to turn to starting pitcher Austin Gomber to pinch-hit.
