DENVER – A six-run lead isn’t safe at Coors Field. If the baseball players don’t make sure of it, the baseball gods will.
A whipping wind turned the Colorado Rockies’ home park into a swirl of napkins and plastic bags at times Sunday, not enough to cause a health hazard but enough to re-create a scene from the film “American Beauty.” The game itself was ugly; the path of a flying baseball was often impossible to predict.
The wind still hadn’t died when the Dodgers’ six-game trip ended with a 12-10 win in front of an announced crowd of 35,962.
