DENVER – Without Raimel Tapia‘s efforts on Sunday, there is no walk-off cycle for Nolan Arenado, no 20 games above .500, no MLB lead in wins for the Colorado Rockies.
The rookie in his first extended stay for the Rockies made the comeback happen.
Coming off the bench on a double switch with two outs in the top half the ninth down two while riding a four game hit streak, and a .556 batting average over those 18 plate appearances, Tapia nabbed a hit to extend his hitting streak in his only at-bat.
