DENVER — The tumbling Rockies created a little bit of history Sunday. Or should we say infamy?
For the first time, Atlanta came into Coors Field and swept a four-game series. Their 8-7 victory on Sunday afternoon sealed the deal.
The Rockies made it interesting late. Charlie Blackmon led off the ninth with a solo homer to deep right off closer Kenley Jason to get the crowd jazzed. But Kenley got Brendan Rodgers to pop out and struck out Ryan McMahon.C.J. Cron’s pinch-hit double put Jansen against the ropes but he got Sam Hilliard to ground out to first baseman Matt Olson to end the game.
