Coors Field, on an unseasonably hot and dry September night, was like a volcano ready to erupt.
And did it ever.
With a first-pitch temperature of 95 degrees — the hottest ever for a Rockies home game in September — the Rockies and Brewers combined for six home runs in Colorado’s thrilling 10-7, 10-inning victory.
They won it on Randal Grichuk’s walk-off, three-run homer off of lefty Taylor Rogers. Grichuk’s second homer of the night traveled 457 feet.
And, oh yeah, earlier in the night, the Brewers’ Christian Yelich launched the longest home run by a left-handed hitter in Coors Field history.
