Rockies walk to a bizarre, 7-3, 10-inning win over Brewers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:28:26 GMT

This was a different kind of walk-off win. You might even call it bizarre.The Rockies beat the Brewers 7-3 Tuesday by scoring four runs in the 10th inning. The Rockies had just one hit in the inning — a perfect bunt single by Brenton Doyle to load the bases — and cashed in on four Milwaukee walks.Andrew Chaffin walked two and forced in a run with a walk. Abner Uribe walked two and forced in two more runs via walks.According to AT&T SportsNet, the Rockies became the first team since 1988 (when all pitches were first tracked by Major League Baseball) to draw three consecutive bases-loaded walks without a single strike being thrown in any of the at-bats.For the record, Cole Tucker drew the first bases-loaded walk off of Chafin to score Harold Castro with the go-ahead run. It was Tucker’s first big-league at-bat since May 10, 2022, when he played for the Pirates.In total, Milwaukee’s pitchers walked eight. The Rockies walked zero. Bizarre.Earlier, the night b...

Other homers came from Colorado’s Elias Díaz and Milwaukee’s William Contreras and Andruw Monasterio.But the game was decided by the Milwaukee bullpen’s inability to find the plate in the 10th inning.
