The Brandons tied it up, and Matt Duffy won it, preserving a magnificent Johnny Cueto outing.
These games are our right. They were a part of the Treaty of Duane Kuiper, signed in 1994, after the Rockies stole a broadcaster and failed to win a single game against the Braves. We got Kuiper back, and we agreed to completely nonsensical high scoring games in their park, as long as they allowed completely nonsensical low-scoring games in our park. The arrangement works.
And on Thursday night, the Rockies violated this treaty. It was an aggression that needed to be addressed.
