DENVER — Nolan Arenado has won games with his big swing, so getting a walk-off victory with the bat sitting on his shoulder was a first.
Arenado walked with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Colorado Rockies beat the New York Mets 5-4 on Thursday.
It was the third time this season Arenado has given the Rockies a walk-off win, but it didn't hold the same drama as his Father's Day grand slam to complete a cycle and give the Rockies a win.
"I don't walk, so it was a little different," he said.
