The Rockies were on the cusp of the most incredible comeback since Rocky Balboa decked Clubber Lang.

Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber runs the basses after hitting a home run off of Colorado Rockies pitcher Ryan Feltner during the first inning of a baseball game, Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in Philadelphia. An exaggeration? Of course. But the underdog Rockies only needed to land one more punch in Rocky’s City of Brotherly Love.

Colorado looked down for the count until it scored five runs in an eighth inning when Philly’s bullpen got wild. The rally included three walks and a clutch two-out, two-run single by Ezequiel Tovar off former Rockie Jeff Hoffman. “Tonight was another example of the chase coming back to haunt us,” Black said. “The chase rate is something we talked a lot about in spring training, and we started talking about it last September. It hasn’t come to fruition, as a group, in terms of laying off the low, breaking ball.”The funny thing is, Wednesday night, the Rockies led 1-0 after their first trip to the plate when Tovar singled and came around to score on Elias Diaz’s groundout to short.

Schwarber led off the first with a 432-foot homer off Feltner, and Turner immediately followed up with a line-drive homer to left. Alex Bohm’s RBI double and Brandon Marsh’s RBI single gave Philly its 4-1 lead.
