AP: Rockies first in modern era to score nine runs in bottom of 9th for win

From Viva El Birdos before the 6th inning.

Reds lost today!  3-0!  Cards up 9-2!  Holliday and Pujols both productive! 

Enjoy.

and the result:

Franklin kept thinking he’d get out of the jam. Instead, it ended when he left a split-finger fastball up over the plate and Smith got all of it.

“I thought I could get out of it with one pitch,” Franklin said. “I was confident the whole time. That’s my game, make them hit the ball. They just hit it kind of hard.”

And far.

“Never, ever in my career have I been associated with a better comeback than that,” Rockies manager Jim Tracy said after watching his team, which had stranded a franchise record 20 runners in their last game and 13 runners through seven innings on this night suddenly come through time after time.

“If there’s a huge lesson learned from this game, it’s the fact that ... the game’s 27 outs and you play every single one of them,” Tracy said. “You don’t give an at-bat away just because the score starts to get away from you.”

Fangraphs gave the Rockies just a 0.9% of winning this game coming into the bottom of the 9th.
