Boston Red SoxvsColorado Rockies
BOS 2/COL 3
Things to say
The Rockies edged the Red Sox 3-2 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Rockies took it 3-2 over Boston at Coors. Tight one all the way. Surprised they pulled it out at home.
02
key player
Honestly whoever drove in that go-ahead run for Colorado earned his check, that was the difference in a one-run game.
03
hot take
Two teams under .500 and somehow this was better baseball than half the playoff races right now.
04
deep cut
A 3-2 final at Coors? That ballpark eats pitchers alive, so somebody's bullpen actually got into their stuff.
05
exit
Anyway, low-scoring at altitude, I'll take it. Curious if Boston bounces back tomorrow.
The recap
The Rockies grinded out a 3-2 squeaker over Boston at Coors Field, and for a team sitting at 31-48 that's the kind of win you take and run. This one stayed tight all night, the bats went quiet on both sides, and it came down to whoever blinked first in the late innings.
Colorado's bullpen slammed the door and held that one-run cushion the rest of the way. Boston had every chance to grab it and just couldn't push the tying run across when it mattered.
