Colorado Rockies Manager Jim Tracy summed it up nicely Sunday night at Coors Field:
“There’s been pitches of the year, innings of the year — that’s the defensive play of the year,” Tracy said.
After a forgettable outing by usually Rocktastic starter Jorge de la Rosa (2 1/3 IP, 6 ER), the forgotten Matt Belisle came in and pitched four very solid innings. That was all the Rockies batters needed, scoring in every inning except the 5th. San Diego would press on, nearly forcing a bottom of the ninth with a four-run outburst in the top of the inning.
