Rockies 8, Indians 7: Rox Come Back, Then Hold On, for Victory in Road Trip Opener

Email
PrintOn the strength of a big six-run fifth inning, the Rockies delivered rare road tacos to their fans as they held on for a one-run victory over the Indians.
The Rockies took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Troy Tulowitzki. However, Cleveland countered with three in the bottom of the inning off of Juan Nicasio on a home run by Travis Hafner. They would tack on one more on a solo blast by Carlos Santana - again, coming against Nicasio, who was certainly not at his best tonight.
Trailing 4-1 heading into the fifth, the Rockies found themselves with two quick outs on the board after consecutive groundouts by Ty Wigginton and Charlie Blackmon. Then, the floodgates opened, beginning with a Chris Iannetta walk and ending with a Wigginton strikeout. Here's what happened in between:
- Carlos Gonzalez singles on a ground ball to center fielder Grady Sizemore. Chris Iannetta to 2nd.
- Chris Nelson singles on a line drive to center fielder Grady Sizemore. Chris Iannetta to 3rd. Carlos Gonzalez to 2nd.
- Todd Helton walks. Chris Iannetta scores. Carlos Gonzalez to 3rd. Chris Nelson to 2nd.
- Troy Tulowitzki doubles (18) on a ground ball to left fielder Michael Brantley. Carlos Gonzalez scores. Chris Nelson scores. Todd Helton to 3rd.
- Jason Giambi homers (7) on a fly ball to center field. Todd Helton scores. Troy Tulowitzki scores.
- Seth Smith doubles (18) on a ground ball to right fielder Shin-Soo Choo.
The Rockies led 7-4 after their half of the inning was complete. The Tribe didn't waste any time getting back in it, as they plated two more runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning, both coming on a bloop single by Shin-Soo Choo off of Rex Brothers. Nicasio exited before the hit, but the runs were charged to him. His final line wasn't pretty, as he lasted just 4.2 innings and six runs on seven hits and two walks - though he did strike out six.
Matt Lindstrom, who was awarded with the win, pitched a scoreless sixth inning. Rafael Betancourt allowed an inherited runner to score in his two-thirds of an inning of work, as Matt Reynolds gave up a base hit to Santana after pitching a very effective inning and a third. However, that came after the Rockies tacked on an insurance run on an errant pick off attempt by Cleveland catcher Lou Marson that allowed Charlie Blackmon, who had reached base via his second walk of the season, to score from second base. The Rox lucked out, as Chris Iannetta would have been out had the throw been half-decent.
Huston Street came on to pitch a 1-2-3 inning in the ninth for his 21st save of the season, despite allowing a couple of hard-hit balls.
The Rox are back at .500 overall, as well as on the road. Click through to see the usual stuff.

Can we all just agree
that was a game we would have lost a few weeks ago? Probably on a walk-off.

The BCS doesn't care how good your wins are, either
If you’re in the ACC, you’re in, and you only have to win 2/3 of your games.

Having grown up in ACC country
I can’t tell you how laughable I find their determination to be a football conference. I realize that the money’s in football, but after decades of being basketball focused, the money grab just looks silly. Should add that the ACC holds it own very well in other sports such as baseball, lacrosse and soccer. But none of those make any cash.
Get your purple on.

I have to agree. It’s okay, though. Ugly wins are still wins…and I’m not going to complain now that the breaks are starting to go the right way.

Yep
We’re finally getting the breaks that have been going against us all season. That double Tulo had in the 5th is a routine ground ball to end the inning instead of a two run double to tie the game if it doesn’t hit the bag.
That one bounce won the Rockies this game because five of the eight runs they got can be traced directly from that play (Giambi hit the three run two out bomb right after it to give the Rockies the lead for good.)

Here's a thought
What if, say, Giambi is bombs away for the next five games as a DH. Wonder if any AL teams come calling for a full time DH and offer us something significant for him?

At the top of the 8th I turned to my son..
..and said we need one more for Street. He agreed.
Turns out it wasn’t for Street, it was for Betancourt.
Nonetheless, Street was leaving everything up tonight. If that bottom is dropping out a bit on the slider I still feel like the guy is imminently hittable (i know, i know, 21 saves – still I can’t help but feel this way).
Felt like we got away with one tonight but i’ll take it.
Serenity Now.
Yup, he's got a micro-thin margin of error
And yet, he manages somehow. It’s not an easy job, and it’s nice to have someone willing and good at it, even if he’s not perfect.
by BostonTransplant on Jun 20, 2011 9:56 PM MDT up reply actions
On the single Betancourt gave up
Why is Tulo playing the immortal Cord Phelps as if he’s a big-dog pull hitter? Like a lot of teams these days, the Rockies’ defense seems shift happy. Maybe there’s a spray chart somewhere that says I’m dead wrong, but that sure looked like a line drive to SS off the bat – except he’s playing on top on second base.
by Northsider1964 on Jun 20, 2011 10:07 PM MDT up reply actions
Thanks - and plus the fact that Betancourt
Lives and breathes with the fastball on the outside corner. I would be hard-pressed to put a pull-shift on with Betancourt on the mound with any hitter – let alone Cord Freaking Phelps!
by Northsider1964 on Jun 20, 2011 10:46 PM MDT up reply actions
Could be the fact Betancourt takes so long
that Tulo forgot where he was standing

For those who cared about my nonsensical way
of breaking the remainder of the season into 13 eight-game series. With this win, the Rockies have guaranteed winning five of eight for the second of the 13 eight-game series. They are still -1, so they could use a win in the next two games to get back on track for 92 wins.
If you want to know what I’m talking about, search through the comments here.
So according to Baseball-Reference...
If you swap in Blackmon and Nelson to the starting lineup and take out Fowler and Herrera, the entire lineup would have at least a 102 OPS+ with ToddFather leading the way at 126. I think there is a reason the offense has looked a lot better lately!
"My eyes! The goggles do nothing!" - Rainier Wolfcastle
While that's important in not killing these awesome rallies we've been seeing
the main reason for the turnaround is that the middle of the lineup is producing. The 3-5 spots drove in 7 of 8 runs tonight. In May, 3,4,5 were going like 1-for-16. CarGo hitting at the top of the order is working surprisingly well too (unconventional, but it’s working).

This
Don’t mess with the leadoff, whatever moving to leadoff did to Cargo’s head, it’s absolutely working, and the entire lineup is more productive because of it. It doesn’t matter if Cargo ends up at 18-20 homers instead of 35, it’s how many games do the Rockies win. Right now, I’m thrilled that just about every boxscore I see, Cargo, Tulo and Todd usually have at least six hits between them (when Verlander’s not pitching, anyway). And that’s how we’re gonna get back in this.

Good riddance...
Marlins just lost their 11th straight game (and 19th in last 20), thanks in no small part to Jose Lopez. Playing third base in a 1-1 eighth-inning game, he allowed the winning run to score when he threw to first on a grounder without even looking at Maicer Izturis, who was scoring the go-ahead run for the Angels.
Feel real bad for the guy
Two years ago he was a budding young star. Now he’s looking at a last chance to stay in the show. And it started badly.

Weird that in a game featuring 2 3-run home runs and a 6-run rally, defense would make the difference
but it did tonight. The Rockies played solid defense, with a couple of great plays. Cleveland threw the game away (literally). Result: win a one-run game instead of lose a one-run game. Nice job, Rox!

Indians also made some pretty nice defensice plays too though
The catch on Smith’s liner in the first that would have plated two more runs, Santana’s catch on Iannetta’s pop up, and Sizemore’s catch on Cargo’s line drive that saved the 8th inning from really getting out of control were all big plays for Cleveland.

Sweet game tonight
Sat in the first row behind the Rockies dugout near first base where the players exit/enter the dugout. It gave you a perfect view to see just what Todd Helton has to deal with when the throws are coming across. It’s amazing how hard these guys can sling it and how easy Todd collects everything. (You kind of take it for granted just watching on TV everyday).

Ringolsby interviewed them on Fathers Day..
and Wiggi’s wife said she was changing and looked at the mirror in their closet and realized she was giving birth! She yelled for Ty and then laid down. Must’ve been a pretty large closet.
and so young, too

Ha
This is me on my bed right now, ‘cept I’m not zzzzing and not tired : )
I'm gonna change my sig because the last time I did, we had a little winning streak. Then I changed it back, and we started losing again. It's the least I can do.

When I realize I'm the only one posting late at night..
it’s probably a good sign I should go to bed. ;)
REC'D...Too bad I'm still at work.
How do you get your kids to behave? Threaten not to take them to a Rockies game. They straighten up REAL QUICK.
Self taught and falling in love with this game is very easy to do, you can never hate it, and that is something that not one person can take away from anybody. The love of baseball and OUR COLORADO ROCKIES.

WIsh I could find a blanket like that. That looks comfy. Wife probably wouldn't allow it on the bed unless she had a Cubs one.

Someone needs to get a snapshot of Seth Smith’s facial expression after he caught that Sizemore flyout in the 9th. That was priceless.
hahaha saw that also

Assuming Giambi stays healthy and hot...
…I’m officially rooting for the AL in the All-Star Game. I think we have a great chance if we had to play 4 games in an AL park.
Oh, now be honest, NL West rivals, warriors to warriors. You do prefer it this way, don't you, as it was meant to be? No peace in our time. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends."

the middle three are at home though, and I would rather not have it get past that.
