It looked like the type of game the Rockies’ dreamed up during the offseason: A road victory, against a quality team, based on clutch hits, including a big home run.
Instead, the dream turned into a nightmare Sunday afternoon at American Family Field.
Milwaukee scored three runs in the eighth off of right-hander Alex Colome for a 10-9 victory. The Brewers rally began with two outs. Colome walked Christian Yellich, Willy Adames singled to left and Rowdy Tellez drove in Yellich with a single to right, tying the game, 8-8. On a 3-2 count, veteran slugger Andrew McCutchen drove Colome’s 3-2 fastball over the head of center fielder Yonathan Daza for the game-winning, two-run double.
