DENVER – Coors Field is notorious for being a hitter-friendly ballpark. The altitude helps the ball fly over the fence, and an expansive outfield leaves extra space for balls in the air to fall. But over the course of a three-game series, the Cubs scored 12 runs.

With a 7-3 loss to the Rockies on Wednesday, the Cubs dropped the series 2-1.
