DENVER — The Detroit Tigers and Colorado Rockies, both implementing bullpen-only games, were deadlocked in a scoreless game going into the bottom of the sixth inning. Hits were scarce, and scoring opportunities were rare.
After trading runs, the second of three games in the series went into extra innings. A free runner in the 10th inning, an important leadoff single and a 400-foot home run propelled the Tigers to a 4-2 victory over the Rockies on Saturday at Coors Field.
Zach McKinstry launched the monster three-run homer to right field.
