With a fine, seven-inning performance from starter Antonio Senzatela, the white-hot bat of Josh Fuentes and a 6-1 lead heading into the eighth inning, what could go possibly go wrong for the Rockies?
Why, a meltdown by their flammable bullpen, of course.
Cincinnati took advantage of four walks, two hit batters and a wild pitch by Colorado relievers to score four runs in the eighth and two more in the ninth to beat the Rockies, 7-6, Sunday afternoon at Coors Field.
Ultimately, the Reds scored the winning run when Nick Senzel scored on Jordan Sheffield’s wild pitch in the ninth.
