Rocky mountain lows

Taylor Rogers started to walk off the mound after he thought his 3-2 sweeper caught the outside of the plate. It did, but it didn’t according to home plate umpire, Dan Bellino.

Instead of returning to the dugout with a scoreless 7th under his belt, preserving the 2-2 tie against the Colorado Rockies, Brenton Doyle took the second walk, forcing Gabe Kapler to pull Rogers. Taylor returned to the dugout with his inning unfinished and in the hands of his identical twin Tyler.

One commercial break, one pitch and one swing later, Ezequiel Tovar had given the Rockies a 3-run lead.
