From the Rockies’ point of view, their 9-6, 10-inning win over the Dodgers Friday night was indescribably delicious.
This was “Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs” kind of stuff.
For the record, the Rockies scored three runs in the 10th on an RBI single by Trevor Story and a two-run home run from Charlie Blackmon, who blasted a Jimmie Sherfy slider deep into the night.
But that was just part of the story.
In the ninth, outfielder Sam Hilliard donned Superman’s cape.
Hilliard, who’s spent most of the season at Triple-A Albuquerque, blasted a two-out, pinch-hit, solo home run off of lefty reliever Darien Núñez to give Colorado a 6-5 lead.
