Rockies hit three homers but lose, 7-6, to Twins in the ninth inning

Before Friday night’s postgame fireworks at Coors Field, the Twins and Rockies put on a pyrotechnic show that rocked LoDo.

The two teams combined for six homers before a sellout crowd of 47,272 that showed up on fan appreciation night.

In the end, however, the game was just another dud for the Rockies, who lost for the 102nd time this season. Minnesota scratched out the winning run in the ninth off Tyler Kinley for a 7-6 victory.

Ryan Jeffers led off the ninth with a single to left and was replaced by pinch-runner Andrew Stevenson. Kyle Farmer reached on a deflected infield single that rolled into shallow right field, allowing Stevenson to advance to third.
