DENVER — It was a strange game on a cool night at Coors Field but the Colorado Rockies ultimately fell short, falling one step farther back in the National League Wild Card race.
For a while, it seemed like the very first batter of the game would be the only one to score.
Dee Gordon reached on an infield hit placed just far enough away from Arenado that even the three-time Gold Glover couldn’t make a play on it. Then, with two strikes on Giancarlo Stanton, Gordon swiped second without a throw for his tenth steal of the season.
