The Rockies just beat the Marlins 15-9 in a slugfest at Coors Field that featured 28 hits, 11 for extra bases. The big difference came in the walks, as the Rockies drew 10 free passes and the Marlins none.
The win puts the Massive Tie Scenario on life support. If St. Louis loses to the Cubs tonight it’s over, as the Cardinals would then need to sweep the Brewers to have a shot at tying the Rockies, but then the Brewers would be out. Both St. Louis and Milwaukee need to win their next two games, tonight and tomorrow, to keep the Scenario alive for the weekend.
The Rockies magic number for clinching the second slot is down to three.
Giancarlo Stanton went 0 for 3 with three Ks in the contest as he failed to use Coors Field to try to reach 62 home runs.
