Spoiler alert.
The Rockies entered the final month of the season knowing they had a chance to hurt some contenders’ playoff chances.
They did just that Friday night at Coors Field, defeating the Atlanta Braves, 4-3. The Braves (71-63) hold a 2 1/2 game lead over Philadelphia, which lost to Miami on Friday.
And the Braves are no doubt lamenting a possible run that got away. With the Rockies leading by a run with one out in the eighth, Eddie Rosario tried to steal third. But Colorado catcher Dom Nunez threw a strike to third baseman Ryan McMahon, who made a between-the-legs tag to end snuff out the would-be rally.
