This game was certainly exciting. The Rockies took a quick lead with single runs in each of the first two innings before the Diamondbacks tied it up with two runs in the fifth. Then neither team scored until the eleventh when Byung-Hyun Kim gave up an RBI single to Stephen Drew to give the Dbacks the lead. Then the Rockies stormed back in the bottom half of the eleventh. Troy Tulowitzki singled in a run to tie it and then Tulowitzki scored when Callapso couldn’t handle Chris Iannetta’s grounder. So it was a walk off no RBI error that did it.
Matt Holliday was the only Rockie with two hits. He also drove in a run. On the mound, Jeff Francis threw seven strong. He gave up just the two runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts. Kim picked up the win despite giving up the go ahead run and four other relievers combined for four shutout innings. It was a nice job by the pen in this one.
Rodrigo Lopez makes his Rockie debut today in the rubber game. It’d be nice to take the opening series against the team many think is the best in the west. Doug Davis throws for the Dbacks.
