The Rockies are limping toward the fall finish line, and it ain’t a pretty sight.
Wednesday night at Coors Field, they fell behind the Giants, rallied to take a brief lead, and then saw another game slip away. Behind Matt Chapman’s two-homer, four-RBI night, San Francisco won 10-8 to complete the three-game sweep.
The Rockies, as is their custom, rallied in the ninth, scoring three runs on a sacrifice fly by Ezequiel Tovar and a two-run double by Hunter Goodman. Ryan Walker struck out Jordan Beck to write another chapter in Colorado’s too-little, too-late saga.
“I feel like we made a nice run and showed that we aren’t going to give at-bats away,” Goodman said following another Rockies’ moral victory that doesn’t count in a major league boxscore.
