For what seemed like an eternity, there had been no relief in sight for the Rockies. But there was Wednesday night in their 10-8 victory over the Mets Coors Field.
You wouldn’t know it by looking at the overworked scoreboard, but Colorado’s bullpen saved a wild game in front of a boisterous crowd of 38,685. A corps of five relievers shut down New York from the last out of the fifth inning through the ninth, bringing some semblance of sanity to a game that featured 25 hits and 14 walks — nine of them by Rockies pitchers..
It helped, of course, that Nolan Arenado, Ryan McMahon and Charlie Blackmon all mashed homers for Colorado.
