Rockies, Cubs amazed by Colorado's rally
DENVER (AP) -The Chicago Cubs don't want to hear anything about the humidor making Coors Field a pitcher's park.
The Colorado Rockies made it look like the old Coors Canaveral launching pad when they batted around three times and nearly a fourth in a 17-2 romp of the Cubs on Friday night.
The game was still tight - 5-2 - with runners at the corners and two outs in the bottom of the eighth. Rockies closer Huston Street was warming up in the bullpen, ready to go for the save.
Then, the Rockies set a major league record by pounding out 11 consecutive hits.
