Rockies rally for 2 runs in 10th to beat Mariners 2
DENVER (AP) — Ezequiel Tovar and Ryan McMahon each hit an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Colorado Rockies over the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday.
The victory snapped a season-worst six-game losing streak for the Rockies (5-16), who entered the day with the worst record in the National League and the worst 20-game start in franchise history.
“As tough as it has been these first 21 games, there’s a pretty good resiliency to the group,” Colorado manager Bud Black said. “For me, that’s not surprising.”
McMahon’s game-ending single sent home Charlie Blackmon for the fifth walk-off RBI of his career.
“I got in that spot and I just wanted to be aggressive early if something popped up down the middle,” McMahon said. “It did and luckily hit it to a spot that allowed us to win the game.”
