The Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies’ series finale in Coors Field was in the top of the third inning, with the home team up 4-3, when the sky over Denver opened up, and sent this one into a rain delay, which lasted two hours.
When played resumed the Nationals took the lead with a three-run top of the third, but the Rockies put up two in the bottom of the third, then added three in the fifth to go up 9-5 in what ended up a 10-5 win.
