Bottom of the Ninth

The Diamondbacks are about to come up in the bottom of the ninth. They need four runs to keep the game alive.

Update: Three up, three down, sort of. Montero doubles to left center, but overslides the bag on a close play at second. He's tagged out to end the game, as Colorado wins 5-1.

The two teams put about the same number of runners on base, each Arizona winning the battle of hits 9-8. The Rockies walked four times, while the DBacks drew two walks and were hit twice. But Colorado took out three of those DBacks runners with double plays, and Arizona helped the Rockies runners along with two wild pitches and a passed ball. A great win for the Rockies, giving them home field advantage and taking the Arizona ace out. They've won seven in a row and 18 or their last 19.

That doesn't mean they can't be stopped. :-)

With the way the DBacks played that game, I think most good teams would have looked unstoppable.
