ICYMI: Rockies rally twice but lose 11-inning heartbreaker to Giants
The loss denied the Rockies a three-game sweep and the end came on an abrupt double play. Colorado’s Sam Hilliard, tagging up from second on Wynton Bernard’s flyball to right fielder LaMonte Wade Jr., was thrown out at third base on a swipe tag by Evan Longoria that caught Hilliard’s foot. McMahon was originally ruled safe on the play, but the call was overturned on replay review.
But the Rockies tied the game in the bottom of the frame with RBIs singles by McMahon and Charlie Blackmon. They had a chance to win the game but Dominic Leone got Hilliard to pop out to third with the bases loaded. “We talked strategy,” said Black, who had no intention of taking Freeland out of the game. “We talked about the sequence of pitches we’re going to use to get . Kyle felt good about the plan and I trusted Kyle in the situation. I trust Kyle Freeland to make pitches.”
