Colorado Rockies’ rallies not enough to overcome mistakes, poor start by German Marquez in wild loss to Chicago Cubs

For the Chicago Cubs, and their legions of fans who turned Coors Field into Wrigley Field West, Sunday afternoon was a party topped off by a wild 9-7 victory.

The game ended when Nolan Arenado was thrown out at home attempting to score from third with two out and the bases loaded on a would-be wild pitch by relief pitcher Brandon Morrow. Catcher Wilson Contreras threw to Morrow, who applied the tag. Arenado was called safe by the home plate umpire but a replay review overturned the call and the game was over.

For the Rockies, who fell to 3-6 at home in front of a sellout crowd of 48,137, it was a messy affair.
