Long Night in the Mile High City

Purple Row chronicles Friday night’s game between the Diamondbacks and the Rockies at Coors Field, the longest nine inning game by time in the history of the National League. This was my favorite tidbit:

The Rockies had 26 (!!!) at-bats with runners in scoring position, but only four hits in that situation. They started the night 0-for-14 with RISP and combined with the D-backs to go 9-for-46. (Just stop for a moment and think about what has to occur for there to be 46 different at-bats with runners in scoring position in a nine-inning baseball game.)

The Dbacks won 10-9. Amazingly, there were only two home runs in the game, both by Yasmany Tomas.
