The Rockies squeezed out a 1-0 win against the Rays on Wednesday afternoon in an 11 inning game, avoiding the sweep and allowing the team to return to Denver following a win. Chris Iannetta, who entered the game in the 8th inning, hit a solo home run in the 11th to give the Rockies the lead. Wade Davis closed it out.
The Rockies have locked up German Márquez through 2023, and on Wednesday he showed why the Rockies were willing to make such a commitment. His curveball was working, and he kept Rays batters off balance throughout the afternoon.
