Rockies 5, Red Sox 4: Rockies overcome a whole bunch of strikeouts to win in extra innings

The Colorado Rockies made 11 innings worth of outs against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Eight innings worth of those outs came via strikeout. You read that correctly: they struck out a staggering 24 times, with each hitter who appeared striking out at least once.

And they still won! Clutch hitting and a lot of gritty pitching led the Rockies to a 5-4 win on the road in 11 innings.

With the game tied in the top of the 11th and with two guys on and two strikes against him, Reynolds got on a top of a high fastball to single in the winning run.
