There haven’t been many grand old nights at the ballpark in LoDo this season, but May 23 will be remembered as one of them.
A full stadium hung on every pitch in the late innings. Sure, many of them were here to root for the visitors, but the Colorado Rockies found a way to defeat the New York Yankees, 3-2, in front of an electric crowd of 47,211 at Coors Field.
Tanner Gordon was an unexpected hero, and then Ryan McMahon delivered the huge hit that has evaded this Rockies club so often in what has already felt like a lost season.
