A rare and beautiful thing happened on Thursday.
Yeah, a decisive 9-1 win over the Giants was great, but that’s not exactly what I mean.
In an even rarer occurrence, the Rockies rallied and batted around in the fourth inning in a seven-run frame.
Of course, it had to come after the Giants struck first and took a 1-0 lead on a Michael Conforto homer. But that’s fine.
For the second time this season, the Rockies strung hits together, went through the lineup and started again. These kinds of innings used to be famous in Colorado.
