A head spinner
In a classic Coors Field turnaround, the Rockies rallied for five runs in the eighth inning Sunday, then gave up five in the ninth to lose 12-10. How it all fell apart for Colorado closer Jake McGee in the ninth:
• Adrian Gonzalez singled through the hole at second base.
• Yasmani Grandal grounded into a fielder’s choice, Gonzalez out at second base.
• Howie Kendrick singled to right field, Grandal to third.
• Enrique Hernandez walked to load the bases.
• Trayce Thompson grounded to shortstop Trevor Story, who had difficulty controlling the ball and got only one out, a forceout at second. Grandal scored, Kendrick to third.
• A.J. Ellis singled to left-center, Kendrick scored, Thompson to third.
• Wild pitch by McGee, Thompson scored, pinch-runner Charlie Culberson to second.
• Chase Utley doubled to right field, Culberson scored.
• Corey Seager doubled to left-center, Utley scored.
• Pitcher Chad Qualls replaced McGee.
• Yasiel Puig flied out to center.
