The catch that wasn’t cost the Rockies dearly Wednesday night at Coors Field.
In the fifth inning, the Chicago Cubs loaded the bases against Jon Gray with two-out singles by Rafael Ortega and Wilson Contreras and a walk by Ian Happ. Patrick Wisdom worked the count 2-2 before he lifted Gray’s slider deep to left field.
Raimel Tapia almost made a brilliant, leaping catch against the wall — indeed the ball was in the webbing of his glove — but when his glove banged into a stanchion, the ball popped free and Wisdom had a three-run double.
