Unfortunately, the Rockies answered back. Their 3rd inning rally was tough to watch, with Brenton Doyle and Brendan Rodgers both driving in key runs to give them the lead. The 7th inning was especially painful as Ryan McMahon doubled to center, scoring Brenton Doyle and ultimately giving the Rockies the lead they wouldn't relinquish.Missed Opportunities
