DENVER — It’s the summer blockbuster season, and the Yankees and Rockies delivered an action-packed thriller Sunday afternoon at Coors Field in front of a sold-out crowd of 47,211 fans.
In the end, the Rockies had more superheroes than the Yankees and won the game 8-7 on Alan Trejo’s unlikely walk-off homer in the 11th inning off Ron Marinaccio. It was not only Trejo’s first walk-off homer of his career, it was his first home run this season, and it clinched the three-game series against New York.
Trejo’s homer — his first in 134 at-bats — silenced the hordes of fans shouting “Let’s Go Yankees!” All three games on the series were sellouts and New York fans turned Coors into Yankee Stadium West.
