For 13 innings this weekend, the Colorado Rockies looked quite capable of competing with the New York Yankees.
Then, everything unraveled.
The Yankees scored 10 times in the fifth inning Saturday afternoon — a comprehensive collapse for the home side in a 13-1 loss in front of 43,186 at Coors Field.
“We didn’t get the outcome we wanted, but we’ve still got a game tomorrow to win the series,” Rockies first baseman Michael Toglia said. “I think we just flush tonight and get ready for tomorrow. That’s it.”
Fourteen batters came to the plate in the top of the fifth.
