MLB Game of the Day: Rockies vs. Yankees

The match up could have been easily decided on paper, but nobody expected that the Colorado Rockies would be the one to win and rain on the Yankees' winning parade. Although New York jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning, the Rockies would even the score in the bottom of the third inning. The Rockies would go on to score twice in the 5th and 6th innings, making the score 3-1. The score remained the same until the top of the ninth, where it threatened to give the Yanks the lead with runners in scoring position. Yet a strong outfield caught the base runners off guard, sealing the victory for the Colorado Rockies. Most of the credit for only one run allowed should go to Rockies pitcher Josh Fogg, who limited the famous slugging squad to only four total hits in over seven complete innings, giving the Colorado batters the chance to knock in runs to seal the deal.
