DENVER – It was a back and forth affair at Coors Field on a second consecutive perfect evening. 24 hours after blowing a 9-1 lead only to win on a dramatic walk-off from rookie Raimel Tapia, the Colorado Rockies found themselves down early this time and needed a comeback of their own. And comeback they did.
Joe Panik started things by ambushing a fastball for a solo home run to right in the first.
The Rockies caught a tough break in the bottom of the first when, after a DJ LeMahieu single — making him five-for-his-last-six, Nolan Arenado hit his fourth double in five at-bats, but it hopped over the wall preventing LeMahieu from scoring.
